  1. Extract the zip file to a new directory to find agent jar and its configuration files.

    set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar
    In Linux, edit <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/catalina.sh and add the following entry to the top and save the file.
    export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar"
  4. For Tomcat as service installation, navigate to Configure Tomcat > JAVA tab and add the entry in Java Options textbox.
    -javaagent:<agent_directory_full_path>/apminsight-javaagent.jar
    Note
