Follow the below steps to install APM Insight Java agent in ColdFusion:
  1. Download the latest APM Insight Java agent (apminsight-javaagent.zip) file.
  2. Extract the zip file to a new directory to find agent jar and its configuration files.
  3. Open the apminsight.conf file in any text editor and include/modify the following keys:

    license.key=[LICENSE KEY]
    apm.host=http://[HOST]:[PORT]
    application.name=[APPLICATION NAME]


    where
    • [LICENSE KEY] - License key obtained from Applications Manager under APM Insight tab.
    • [HOST] - Host at which Applications Manager is running.
    • [PORT] - Port number at which Applications Manager is running.
    • [APPLICATION NAME] - Name of your application.

    Example:

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

  4. Go to the ColdFusion admin console. On the left menu, select SERVER SETTINGS → Java and JVM.
  5. In the textbox for JVM Arguments, add the following argument:

    -javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar

  6. After specifying the above argument, save the configuration and restart the server.
Note:
  • You can also configure a secure APM URL. Ensure that the connection is stable and free from certificate-related issues.
    Example: https://apm-prod-server:8443
  • For an Applications Manager failover setup, you can specify multiple hosts in a comma-separated format (supported from Java Agent v6.8), as shown below:
    apm.host=http://apm-prod-server-A:9090, http://apm-prod-server-B:9090
