Universal injection of code modules | n/a |
Auto-injection of code modules
Auto-injection automatically injects code modules into monitored applications in a completely transparent and automatic fashion that requires no manual configuration or intervention. This approach to deep monitoring is supported for Windows (Docker only) and Linux. Among other things, auto-injection also automatically injects code modules into Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and Cloud Foundry Garden containers. This means that you don't have to change any container images on monitored platforms to gain full insights.
Universal injection of code modules
Universal injection allows DESK to inject code modules into applications in a unified way across multiple platforms, in situations where auto-injection isn't available. This applies to AIX and Solaris as well as to Cloud Foundry application-only, OpenShift application-only, Kubernetes application-only, Heroku, Google App Engine and AWS Fargate.
The feature is described on the AIX/Solaris OneAgent installation page. It is also part of the Openshift application-only/Kubernetes application-only integration and the container platforms Google App Engine and AWS Fargate.
Outside of these specific use cases, this feature isn't to be used directly!
The Cloud Foundry buildpack integrations and DESK Heroku buildpack use this transparently under the hood without any need for manual intervention or configuration.
Any form of undocumented injection (for example, older forms of manual injection) aren't supported.
Alpine Linux and musl-based images
DESK supports Alpine Linux based containers (musl based containers) on monitored Linux x86_64 hosts. This includes Openshift, Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry installations and all forms of Docker environments. In these environments DESK OneAgent automatically injects the code modules into the applications running inside the container.
Alpine Linux is also supported in Openshift application only and Kubernetes application only integrations as well as when pushing Docker images to Cloud Foundry and Heroku. This happens via the universal injection.
DESK OneAgent doesn't support direct installation in Alpine based Linux systems.
OneAgent deployment via OneAgent Operator
The OneAgent Operator deploys the OneAgent to Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters via a container. There are some limitations when rolling out OneAgent via a container. These limitations include:
- Auto-update mechanism of modules is disabled for container rollouts, however, the OneAgent Operator takes care restarting OneAgent pods to receive OneAgent updates.
- Auto-injection of code-modules is disabled for native (i.e., non-containerized) processes.
- JMX plugins aren't supported for technologies outside of containers
For a detailed list of limitations please consult the OneAgent deployment via Docker container documentation.
