Springboot microservices

[Anjana.Mohan]

Spring boot applications internally contains tomcat server. we have run Appdynamics java agent individually and created docker image.

we have to configure spring boot application with java agent and we need to bring up both images at a time.

I do not see any instructions to implement this on appdynamics .

Could you kindly provide work instructions to configure such a springboot microservices application ?

Anjana,

You should follow the instructions here.

Spring boot appications are simply "standalone JVMs" from the perspective of AppDynamics configuration

Warm regards,

Peter

Steps to install is clear.

Question - we cannot build two images at a time , so which exact image do you suggest we build along with the java agent on docker ? the one with the tomcat server or just the application image ?

[Peter.Holditch · Accepted solution]

From an AppDynamics perspective, the agent is fine with or without the presence of tomcat provided it gets the needed configuration.

There is some documentation that talks about setting the agent up in a docker environment, which also points to the dockerfiles for some images we have created ourselves as examples.

I hope this helps you arrive at the optimal configuration for your scenario.
