Install APM Insight Java Agent in AWS Elastic Beanstalk

• Create a new directory under <APP_HOME>/WEB-INF/lib, say appmanager.
• Download latest the APM Insight java agent zip file (apminsight-javaagent.zip) here
• Extract the zip file to a appmanager directory to find agent jar and its configuration files.
• Open the apminsight.conf file in any text editor and include the following keys:
  license.key=[LICENSE KEY]
  apm.host=http://[HOST]:[PORT]

  Example:

  license.key=APMI_74447444b666d7ab5174cc3021a9b68dd4b3364d50f99c2969360810313e8fac
  apm.host=http://apm-prod-server:9090
  

  To learn more about the configurations, visit our Configuration Guide page.

• Repackage your application and deploy it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• In AWS Console, go to Elastic Beanstalk and choose your application.
• Navigate to Configurations > Software Configuration > JVM command line options to add the java argument
  
  -javaagent:<APP_HOME>/WEB-INF/lib/apminsight-javaagent jar
  
  
  Note: Saving the JVM configuration changes will restart the application server automatically.
  
  Example: For installing agent in Tomcat container on linux, JVM argument would look like:
  -javaagent:/usr/home/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/appmanager/apminsight-javaagent.jar
