Installing Java agent in Websphere 8.5.5.9 and above

Note

Refer to this help page for the previous steps.

Extract the zip file to a new directory to find agent jar and its configuration files.
Open the apminsight.conf file in any text editor, enter your license.key (which can be obtained from the Site24x7 APM Insight page), configure the application.name and agent.server.port values as required, and save the file. Refer here to fine-tune the agent settings.

Note
If multiple Java applications or instances are running on the same host, configure application-specific properties, such as application.name and agent.server.port, as JVM system properties instead of configuring them in the apminsight.conf file. For more information, refer to this KB article.
Open administrative console of your IBM Websphere server, Select Servers > ServerType > WebSphere Application Servers.

Under Additional Properties, select Java Virtual Machine.
Locate Generic JVM Arguments textbox and enter the following parameter:
```
-javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar
```
