Undocumented log files written by Java Agent

Issue/Introduction

We are seeing messages in the Agent logs indicating failure attempting to write certain log files : 

1. Failed to create file: $AGENT_HOME/logs/BootstrapAgent.log. Please check file permissions.

2. [WARN] [I.SustainabilityService] The metric reports will be written to $AGENT_HOME/core/config/metrics

 

Is there a configuration property to specify where the BootstrapAgent.log is written?

Same question for metric reports.

This is z/OS Mainframe and the AGENT_HOME file system is not writeable.

Resolution

Fix for bootstrapAgent.jar and bootstrapAgentNoRedefNoRetrans.jar with additional code changes to support a system variable for specifying bootstrapAgent logs folder path.
