Download

The Java Tracer is distributed as a .zip or .tar archive and can be downloaded from the AQtive Guard web interface:

  1. Select Settings from the menu bar, then select Sensors
  2. Locate the Java Tracer and select Download.

If you’re using the on-premise AQtive Guard, the Java Tracer is typically distributed with the on-premise package.

Installation

When you extract the cs-java-tracer-.zip package, it’ll create a directory named cs-java-tracer-<VERSION> that contains a JAR file cs-java-tracer.jar. For instance:

cs-java-tracer-1.8.2/
└── cs-java-tracer.jar

Tip

You can move the cs-java-tracer.jar file to anywhere on your system. It doesn’t have to remain in the cs-java-tracer-<VERSION> directory.

Caution

Renaming the tracer JAR file can cause the trace to fail. If you must rename the JAR file, refer to Renaming the Tracer Jar File in the Java Tracer reference for instructions.
