Installation Tomcat

This page provides information on how inspectIT can be used with the Apache Tomcat.

Integration

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 INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME="[path-to-inspectit-agent]"
export INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME

set INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME="$[path-to-config-folder]"
export INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME

set INSPECTIT_JAVA_OPTS="-Xbootclasspath/p:${INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME}/inspectit-agent.jar -javaagent:${INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME}/inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.config=${INSPECTIT_CONFIG_HOME}"
export INSPECTIT_JAVA_OPTS

# integrate inspectit java options with the java options of Tomcat
set JAVA_OPTS="${INSPECTIT_JAVA_OPTS} ${JAVA_OPTS}"
