Integration on Linux

The inspectIT can be integrated with in the start up script of Catalina, which is in the location $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh. The $CATALINA_HOME represents the root of your Tomcat installation. inspectIT can be easily integrated within this file. A best practice is to define variables holding the references to the inspectIT installation and configuration folders.

...

set JAVA_OPTS=-javaagent:[path-to-inspectit-agent]\inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.config=[path-to-config-folder] %JAVA_OPTS%

Integration on Windows

The inspectIT can be integrated without touching the start up script of Catalina. To integrate the inspectIT agent, a new batch-script called 'setenv.bat' has to be created in the $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ directory. The $CATALINA_HOME represents the root of your Tomcat installation. This script will be automatically executed by the default start-scripts of Tomcat. This script is used to pass arguments to Tomcat.

Simply adapt the variables (INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME, INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME) of the following script to match your environment and you're done.

set INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME=[path-to-inspectit-agent]
set INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME=[path-to-config-folder]

set JAVA_OPTS=-javaagent:%INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME%/inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.config=%INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME%
