Add – javaagent to Tomcat 6 server, where can I put it and what format?

I'm trying to install an application health monitoring application that can monitor J2EE Web transactions. I need to put javaagent in my tomcat, but I don't know how to do this. I use Linux and the software instructs the company to make the product do as follows:

-javaagent:<Path to the WebTransactionAgent.jar>

I've got their further support. They basically put it in the right place SH file (but they can't tell me which Tomcat file is)

I tried to put it in Catalina SH file, but it doesn't seem to work:

JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -javaagent:"C:\WebTransactionAgent.jar"

Any suggestion is appreciated

Solution

For UNIX / Linux, see < Tomcat_ home> /bin/setenv. Sh

CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -javaagent:/path/to/YourJar.jar"

If it does not exist, you may need to create this file and change it to 711 or 755

For windows, the corresponding is setenv bat.
