use elastic-apm jar java agent with aws elastic beanstalk

Question

as of now elastic beanstalk allows to upload a single jar file for deployment.

i want to run custom script as per the below command for starting the application.

sudo java -Dlogging.file=/home/ec2-user/server.log -Xmx8192m -javaagent:/home/ec2-user/server/elastic-apm-agent-1.12.0.jar 
-Delastic.apm.service_name=service-name
-Delastic.apm.application_packages=com.demo
-Delastic.apm.server_urls=xxx
-Delastic.apm.secret_token=XXX 
-jar $server_name-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 
--spring.profiles.active=prod

not sure if we can do it with some config file to specify the path of the java agent if we know the path of the java agent jar

Answer 1

In EB configuration > environment properties, you'd have to set JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-javaagent:/home/ec2-user/server/elastic-apm-agent-1.12.0.jar and the rest of your -D and -Xmx properties in _JAVA_OPTIONS.

You will also need to download the agent using ebextensions config:

files:
  "/home/ec2-user/server/elastic-apm-agent-1.12.0.jar":
    mode: "000444"
    owner: root
    group: root
    source: "https://<host>/elastic-apm-agent-1.12.0.jar"
