Issue/Introduction

We have successfully been using the below custom PBD that uses AppMapMarkerTracer in all Java Agent 10.* versions but noticed it is not longer working in 21.9

Environment

SaaS Java Agent 21.x

Cause

In the Agent log you can find below messages:

[ERROR] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Unable to create tracer factories for the following class (library not found): com.wily.introscope.appmap.agent.trace.hc2.AppMapMarkerTracer
[INFO] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Either the tracer configuration is incorrect or the installation is corrupt

All agent appmap related tracers have been removed as they are now obsolete. We don't need these tracers for appmap any more.

 

Resolution

Remove all the the AppMap* references and traces
