Automated injection of deep-code monitoring on AIX

On AIX, Dynatrace supports deep-code monitoring for Java, Apache, WebLogic and Websphere applications. Since OneAgent version 1.189, you only need to Allow AIX kernel extension on your AIX Host settings page in Dynatrace. For earlier releases, you need to perform some configuration on AIX, see Install OneAgent on AIX.

Enable automated injection

To enable automated injection

  1. After you install OneAgent and it successfully connects to Dynatrace, in Dynatrace, go to Hosts and select your AIX host.
  2. On the host details page, select More (…) > Settings.
  3. Select the AIX kernel extension tab.
  4. Turn on Allow AIX kernel extension.
    OneAgent will then begin collecting deep-code monitoring data.

You can use the Settings API to configure your automated injection.

  1. To learn the schema, use GET a schema with builtin:host.monitoring.aix-kernel-extension as the schemaId.
  2. Based on the builtin:host.monitoring.aix-kernel-extension schema, create your configuration object.
  3. To create your configuration, use POST an object.

Update OneAgent version 1.187 and earlier

If you manually configured your AIX host to inject OneAgent code modules, we recommend that you clear the LDR_PRELOAD and the LDR_PRELOAD64 environment variables after you enable the automated injection. This enables you to uninstall OneAgent simply using the uninstall script without the need to clear the environment variables.
