How to setup a Java agent in a Spring boot app deployed in PCF cloud

Question

I have a Spring boot app deployed into PCF cloud. I need to setup a Java agent on it. How do I give the JVM options? How to include the agent jar in the deployed jar file? I use Maven to build.

Answer 1

You will have to pass the JVM options as env settings in the application manifest file.

This link provides details on manifest options - https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html
