This Ansible role installs and configures the Dynatrace AppMon Agent of the Dynatrace AppMon solution for the Apache Tomcat application server.

Note: this role makes the Dynatrace AppMon Agent available to Apache Tomcat by injecting an appropriate -agentpath option into an environment variable, e.g. CATALINA_OPTS, inside a file (typically an executable script). It is assumed that this script either executes Apache Tomcat directly or is sourced by another script before Apache Tomcat gets executed. You will have to restart your application after placing the agent.

The role is available via:

• Ansible Galaxy
• GitHub

This roles depends on the following roles:

• Dynatrace-Java-Agent

As defined in defaults/main.yml:

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: Dynatrace.Dynatrace-Tomcat-Agent
      dynatrace_tomcat_agent_env_var_file_name: /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh
      dynatrace_tomcat_agent_env_var_file_insert_after: '#!/bin/sh'

We use Test Kitchen to automatically test our automated deployments with Serverspec and RSpec:

1. Install Test Kitchen and its dependencies from within the project's directory:

gem install bundler
bundle install

2. Run all tests

kitchen test

By default, we run our tests inside Docker containers as this considerably speeds up testing time (see .kitchen.yml).
