APM agent missing Frontends and Backends

Products

Issue/Introduction

The warning “Automatic entry point and automatic backend detection are disabled” is missing with AgentNoRedefNoRetrans.jar.  

We would like to monitor Frontends and Backends after switching to this recommended agent JAR file.  Can that be enabled to get Frontends and Backends metrics? 

Environment

Release : 10.8

Resolution

There should not be any special configuration if these are standard frontends and backends.

The agent is by default instrumented to trace frontends and backends.

Default frontend tracer are already configured by the required.pbd

required.pbd is by default included in the instrumentation (it is part of acc-master.pbl)

Backend tracer are included by httpbackendmetrics.pbd and jms.pbd

httpbackendmetrics.pbd and jms.pbd are part of acc-master.pbl.

We need to make sure that we exercise the application pages (browser pages) that execute frontends and backends codes.
