Install php agent on Elastic Beanstalk

[Gamer.Deravanesian]

How can I install the PHP agent on AWS elastic Beanstalk?

Hi Gamer,

I would like to understand the requirement better. Are you trying to instrument PHP application deployed on  AWS beanstalk?

If that is the case, you may refer the following for the steps

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Install+the+PHP+Agent

Let me know whether we are on the same page here.

Thanks,

Dear sajna,

Thanks for prompt answer.

Actually, In order to Install the app dynamics PHP application agent on  AWS beanstalk, I guess I should add appropriate commands on a config file inside my projects .ebextensions folder.

I would appretiate if you could provide the list of commands which I need to put there.

Thanks,

Gamer.

Hi Gamer - The easiest way to get the agent up-and-running is to use .ebextensions to configure your environment to install the agent for you on startup. I've attached a sample appdynamics.config for you below to look at. It will probably work for you as is, but you will need to update line 24 (06install), replacing the following elements with the details for your controller/app and save:

<ACCOUNT_NAME>

<ACCESS_KEY>

<CONTROLLER_URL>

<CONTROLLER_PORT>

<APPLICATION_NAME>

<APPLICATION_TIER>

Cheers,
