Issue/Introduction

I have defined some EP Agent plugins in the APM Infrastructure Agent profile file but they are not reporting - all that is listed in the log is 

[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.EPAgent] No Usable EPAgent Servers or Plugins configured.

Environment

Release : 21.3

Component : Introscope

Cause

In order for the APMIA to run a stateless plugin it must have a command and delayInSeconds property defined for it

The following set of definitions is invalid because that property is not set

introscope.epagent.plugins.stateless.names=APP,APP1,APP2
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP1.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP1.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP2.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP2.sh

Resolution

Additional logging information is written to the wrapper log.

the correct configuration properties for this example are

introscope.epagent.plugins.stateless.names=APP,APP1,APP2
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP.delayInSeconds=15
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP1.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP1.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP1.delayInSeconds=15
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP2.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP2.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP2.delayInSeconds=15

Additional Information

if the agent is started with these values the all that is reported in the IntrscopeAgent.log is 

[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.EPAgent] No Usable EPAgent Servers or Plugins configured.

no specific information as to what the problem is. There is a message reported in the wrapper though which eludes to the problem

INFO   | jvm 1    | com.wily.introscope.epagent.IllegalConfigurationException: Stateless plugin 'APP' must have a schedule or delay configured.

but just reported for one of the defined plugins

if the config is changed so that a delayInSeconds is added for one of the plugins as below

introscope.epagent.plugins.stateless.names=APP,APP1,APP2
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP.delayInSeconds=15
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP1.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP1.sh
introscope.epagent.stateless.APP2.command=/APMIA/epaplugins/APP2.sh

the agent log then no longer issues any WARN but simply starts the one valid plugin - no info at all that the other definitions are invalid

[INFO] [IntroscopeAgent.EPAgent APP] Starting plugin 'APP'.

The wrapper log does still report a problem but again only for the first incorrect plugin definition

INFO   | jvm 1    | com.wily.introscope.epagent.IllegalConfigurationException: Stateless plugin 'APP1' must have a schedule or delay configured.
