Auto instrument not working

Hi All,

 

Currently, I try to implement cluster-operator and cluster-agent on K8s. the cluster metric shows under the "Server/Cluster" menu correctly. However, I would like to config auto-instrument for Java application but no hope follow the validate guide here is still not much helpful...

 

https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.5/en/infrastructure-visibility/monitor-kubernetes-with-the-cluster-a...

 

apiVersion: appdynamics.com/v1alpha1
kind: Clusteragent
metadata:
  name: k8s-cluster-agent
  namespace: appdynamics

  appName: "TEST-CLUSTER"
  controllerUrl: "https://xxx.appdynamics.com"

  # docker image info

    - "cma-dev"
    - "cma-qa"
  #

  defaultEnv: JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
  resourcesToInstrument:
    - Deployment
  imageInfo:

      agentMountPath: /opt/appdynamics
  instrumentationRules:
    - namespaceRegex: "xxx-dev"
      language: java
      env: JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
      appNameLabel: app
      instrumentContainer: first
      imageInfo:

        image: "my.own.repository.org:5000/appdynamics/java-agent:latest"
        agentMountPath: /opt/appdynamics

 

But I got this....

Hi Sattha

 

You have set the appNameStrategy : label

And in the instrumentation rules, you state that it should use the below label of the Java pods to name the Application.

 

Do you have a label in your java app's deployment spec that is named "app"? As it will look for that label to set the Application Name. If it's empty it wont register. Your logs show that the instrumentation rule is matching the pod so the rest seem to be correct.

appNameLabel: app

 

I would suggest to set the following, to just validate testing, before switching back to using labels to set the AppD Application Name

 

 

appNameStrategy: manual

Change 

appNameLabel: app to appName: XXX_DEV

                                             appName: XXX_QA

 

Then redeploy and let us know

 

Ciao

What I try...

  1. check K8s deployment config to make sure that config is applied to the current "k8s-cluster-agent" pod
  2. delete and recreate application deployment but no init-container config apply (it should not I think since Instrument still false

Thanks Sattha

 

Could you remove all instances of the following from the cluster agent yaml

instrumentContainer: first

and add the following to each of the 2 instrumentation rules

containerMatchString: .*

 

The redeploy, and check if it instruments the pods now

What I try

  • Update config according to your suggestion
  • Delete cluster-operator  K8S deployment
  • Delete cluster-agent K8S deployment
  • recreate both cluster-operator and cluster-agent
  • check deployment configuration change to what we need
  • delete application deployment and recreate it --- not thing happen no init-container

I try your .yaml file but when creating `cluster-agent.yaml` there is the following error

error: error validating "appdynamics/cluster-agent-test.yaml": error validating data: ValidationError(Clusteragent.spec): unknown field "nsToMonitorRegex" in com.appdynamics.v1alpha1.Clusteragent.spec; if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with --validate=false

Thanks Sattha

 

Can you just confirm a couple of things

 

1. Which version of K8S are you running?

2. What version of the Cluster Agent Operator are you running? If running version 1.14 or less you should have deployed the Operator with the below YAML File

cluster-agent-operator-1.14-or-less.yaml

 

You can try the below YAML and advise

apiVersion: appdynamics.com/v1alpha1
kind: Clusteragent
metadata:
  name: k8s-cluster-agent
  namespace: appdynamics
spec:
  appName: "SEACMACLUSTER-TH-DEVQA"
