Question by Devika N. · Mar 18, 2014 at 09:04 PM ·

Unable to use Dynatrace on linux

I am able to view a java process I started up on my windows box on a client running on the same machine. However, when I try passing the command line arguments to a java process running on a linux box, I do not see it on my client.

I can not bring up the client on linux either, so please suggest how i can perform the monitoring.

My windows firewall is off and both machines are connected to the same switch.

I was using the 64 bit version, but I got it running with a remote (windows) server and collector currently. I have the agent running on the linux box. I am going to try to move the server to linux next and connect to the client from windows since the 32 bit client requires too many additional libraries as Ramon mentioned.

I have server, collector e analyser on Linux 64 bits, windows collector all integrated and work fine. I already had windows as server and collector and for me the linux ones work so much better !!!

The question is only the client.

 

And my windows clients (32 and 64) connect on the linux server with no problems.

 

If I can help, let me know.

The client on Linux I'll guess that your linux is 64 bits, and not work (what I think need to be fix ASAP ).

I installed the client on 64-Linux, but for this I needed install and a number of 32 bits libs to the client work (some libX*** for example). I do not have a list, but I remember of see the logs and install what was need.

It's not much, I erased the file with this data  (¬¬) but I hope that helps

in addition to what Andi already said: in the command line you also have to specify the IP/host of the dynaTrace Server/Collector if it's not on the same machine (localhost).

Hi

I am not sure if I completely understand where your individual components are installed. Please let me know

a) Where you have installed your dynaTrace Serer

b) Where you have installed your dynaTrace Client

c) Where the application is running that you want to monitor

With dynaTrace you have to understand that there is a dynaTrace Server that ultimately collects all the data. It can either be installed on Windows or Linux. The Client is there to "view" the data. The client is available for Windows, Linux and Mac and connects to the dynaTrace Server to fetch the data.

The Application that you want to monitor, e.g: a Java Application needs to load our dynaTrace Agent. It does that via the command line option. You need to make sure that the dynaTrace Agent is installed on that machine where this applicatoin runs and that the command line option you use referneces the dynaTrace Agent Library from that locally installed folder.

As some additonal help you can check out the Quickstart Guide - it has a section with some example applications that e.g: run on the LAMP stack

Hope this helps
