How to install the new version?

  • Use the installers to install the new version. Best practice is to use a new folder for the installation and integrate the version of inspectIT into the folder name.

 

Necessary adaptions

  • The new version of inspectIT brings the completely refactored configuration of the Agent. The configuration is now UI based. You need to adapt the existing text based configuration to the new approach using the Configuration interface. Please visit Configuration basics for full documentation on new configuration feature.

  • Integration of agent into the JVM has changed. The repository and agent name properties have been separated. Please use the following:

    -javaagent:[INSPECTIT_AGENT_HOME]/inspectit-agent.jar -Dinspectit.repository=[REPOSITORY_IP]:[REPOSITORY_PORT] -Dinspectit.agent.name=[AGENT_DISPLAY_NAME]

  • Since the basic package of inspectIT classes changed to rocks.inspectit, you must change the pcakage name used in the OSGi bootdelegation property (used in configuring JBoss/Glassfish/etc).

Things that will not work anymore

  • Old configuration files will not be read by the agent anymore. Please migrate to the UI based configuration.
  • In this preview version the JMX monitoring is not working, although the configuration does allow the specification of the JMX beans/attributes. This will be fix by the  INSPECTIT-2071 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
