Issue/Introduction

Java Agents are now supported on Docker containers. This is some guidance on how to configure them.

• How can I  setup Java agents in Docker containers so they appear logically in Investigator Tree?
• Since the container doesn't know what host it's actually running on, what is the best practice? 

Environment

• CA APM 10.5

Resolution

• "Hostname" is the container ID or the hostname that you configured when starting the container with "docker run -h <hostname>."
• You can either change the configuration when building the image (e.g., by changing the init_agent.sh script) or by mounting the configuration into the container.
