Elasticsearch version: 7.3.1
APM Server version: 7.3.1
APM Agent language and version: JAVA agent 1.9.0
Websphere Application Server version: 8.5.5.0, Single cell-node-server configuration.
Description of the problem: Websphere fails to startup with startServer.cmd script when Java agent is installed.
We are attempting to monitor performance of a java application deployed in this appserver using the APM java agent.
Following this guide, we added the following generic arguments to the appserver:
-javaagent:D:/WAS/lib/elastic-apm-agent-1.9.0.jar
-Delastic.apm.service_name=my-apm-service
-Delastic.apm.application_packages=com.my.app.package
-Delastic.apm.server_urls=http://localhost:8200
However, when attempting to start up the local server using the startup script it fails and generates the following errors in the logs:
