Location of custom probe class

[tercanedmunds]

I'm trying to make deployments of custom probe classes easier by bundling in my gradle build as part of WAR creation. Unfortunately, yourkit when attempting to activate the probe throws a classnotfound exception. What are the yourkit parameters where i can bundle the probe jar in my WAR (and NOT have to copy manually into the container), where yourkit will find the probe class?

Thanks!

Please see "Probe registration, activity modes":

I've done the registration via API, however the probe doesn't show up in the list to activate after registered...

[Anton Katilin]

Which of the API calls did you use?

Code: Select all

// register probe classes
public static void registerProbes(Class... probeClasses);

// register probe classes by class name
public static void registerProbes(String... probeClassNames);


From the help:

When probes are registered by name using registerProbes(String...), the probe classes will be searched in paths specified with the help of startup options probeclasspath=<classpath> and probebootclasspath=<classpath>

Anyway, please check the profiler agent log file <user home>/.yjp/log/<session name>-<pid>.log for errors that should appear when a probe registration fails for whatever reason. Please feel free to send the log file to support@yourkit.com if you have difficulties interpreting it.
