Description
We have applications running on Alpine Linux containers and we would like to instrument the applications. Does APM support Alpine Linux Containers?
Solution
APM agent does support Alpine linux containers. You will need APM 12.18 and above to instrument applications running on Alpine.
However there is a catch in instrumenting Alpine containers or any application running Alpine linux.

We need to make sure the following libs are installed on the system/container - libstdc++
You can include the below line in your Dockefile to make sure the image has the libs that are needed.
- RUN apk add --no-cache libstdc++
