Hi, We are trying to test elastic APM and trying to attach "elastic-apm-agent-1.18.0.jar" with our tomcat and for this we follow guide to export CATALINA_OPTS in setenv.sh file. but when we start tomcat we hit with following error
"Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: co/elastic/apm/agent/bci/AgentMain : unsupported classversion 51.0

Hi,

On which java version are you running? class version 51 is Java 7 which should be supported by APM according to the docs.

Best regards

Hi, we are on java 6.

I don't think Java 6 is Supported

See here

Yes, that's what the reason. Sorry for bothering you people, actually I was not sure about the version at first.
Thanks for support.
