Creating agent instrumentation configurations

Foglight for Java EE Technologies includes a default, basic configuration for the Java EE agent that is defined in the instrumentation.config file settings. Java EE agents use the default configuration unless you explicitly create and assign a new one to them. You can create configurations by copying settings from the default configuration.

1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Application Servers > Administration.
3
On the Java vew, click the Agent Configurations tab.
4
On the Agent Configurations tab, click New configuration... The New Java Agent Configuration dialog box opens.
5
Optional — To use an existing configuration as the basis for your new configuration, select the Copy settings from check box and select an existing configuration from the list.
