BPA IHS Plugin causing application failures

Products

• DX Application Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

We recently deployed the BPA plugin on the AIX  IHS (v9.0.5.4) servers. The plugin is causing 500 error when trying to load some of the application web pages. We have verified that it is the plugin by removing the plugin from the conf file, the errors go away and work as expected.  When we put the plugin back into the application we see the 500 errors.

 

 

Cause

APM DEV team observed that the *.ttf files did not have content type header.  However, our BPA plugin for IHS implementation would check on the content type to determine whether the content would need to be captured. 

Environment

Release : 21.3

Component : Introscope

Resolution

APM DEV team has build a fix IHSapache-webserver-plugin-1.0.3-IHSapache24.tar.gz.
Contact Broadcom support to obtain the fix.
