Installing Plumbr Java Agent

Installing Plumbr Java Agent is as easy as adding the -javaagent:PATH-TO/plumbr.jar to your configuration and restarting the JVM.

1. STEP 1: Download & Configure Download Plumbr Agent from the Download Center (requires authentication) and unzip the downloaded archive.

   You must also specify at least one of jvmId or clusterId parameters in the plumbr.properties file located next to the plumbr.jar or via system parameters.

2. STEP 2: Attach

   Choose your OS and Application Server from below:

   - OS - Linux Mac OS X Windows

   - Application Server - Apache Tomcat Glassfish JBoss Application Server Jetty Oracle WebLogic Server WAS Liberty Standalone Application

   Even if you do not find your platform from the officially supported list, Plumbr is known to run on many other JVM/OS/application server combinations. The short list of platforms which are known not to work include Solaris operating system, IBM JDK and pre Java 6 versions of the JVM.

   So in order to try Plumbr Agent out in your environment, just alter your startup scripts similar to following:

   java -javaagent:PLUMBR_HOME/plumbr.jar my.packages.MyClass

   See platform-specific installation guides
