Enable Socket Collection on the App Agent

To enable socket collection on the app agent:
  1. Configure the Java App Agent startup command to perform these tasks, as shown in the example:
    Enable appdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable for the Network Agent to map network metrics to application flows. For example:
    java -javaagent:<app_server_agent_home>/javaagent.jar\-Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true
    The following examples illustrate how editing the Agent startup command can differ, depending on the framework of the monitored application. See

    Agent Installation by Java Framework

    and its relevant framework documentation.
    Framework Example (App Agent ZIP)
    IBM WebSphere and InfoSphere

    In the WebSphere/InfoSphere UI, navigate to the Java Virtual Machine properties page for the monitored server. Then, add javaagent and appdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true as a Generic JVM argument. For example:

    CODE 
    javaagent:/usr/appd/agents/apm/javaagent.jar -Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true
    Apache Tomcat

    Add the full command as a Catalina environment variable in file CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh (Tomcat 6 and later). For example:

    CODE 
    export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -javaagent:/usr/appd/agents/apm/javaagent.jar -Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true"
    Glassfish

    Add the full command as a -javaagent JVM option in the GlassFish domain. You can add the Agent using the asadmin tool. For example:

    CODE 
    export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/appd/agents/netviz/lib/appd-netlib.so
    CODE 
    glassfish4\bin\asadmin create-jvm-options "-
    CODE 
    javaagent\:/usr/appd/agents/apm/javaagent.jar:-Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true"
    JBoss Standalone

    Add the full command to the standalone.sh file. For example:

    export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:/usr/appd/agents/apm/javaagent.jar -Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true"
    Jetty

    Add the full command to the start.ini config file in the Jetty base directory. For example:

    CODE 
    --exec -javaagent:/usr/appd/agents/apm/javaagent.jar -Dappdynamics.socket.collection.bci.enable=true
  2. To verify that the App Agent is running correctly, enter:
    strings /proc/<app_pid>/environ
