How can we add verbose,logni,logapplicationexceptions and dumpjittedmethods options for debugging in SteelCentral AppInternals 10, which were available in earlier versions of SteelCentral AppInternals?

We need to add verbose,logni,logapplicationexceptions and dumpjittedmethods options to SteelCentral AppInternals (SCAI) 10 to troubleshoot instrumentation issues. With earlier versions we used to add all the above or subset of the options in the JVM startup for Java Instrumentation and dotnet.startup file for DotNet Instrumentation. Since we do not have dotnet.startup file and since we do not modify JVM startup parameters with SCAI 10, how can we add the additional debugging options?

With the advent of SCAI 10 the architecture of AppInternals has been revamped.

Instrumentation can be enabled/disabled without changing any configuration files or modifying JVM startup parameters.

Hence users who are familiar with earlier version of SCAI will not be able to find many files on the Managed Nodes, like - dotnet.startup, dotnet.config, jida.config etc.

We can still enable debugging options which used to be available in earlier version of SCAI in SCAI 10. Most important of these being verbose,logni,logapplicationexceptions and dumpjittedmethods

Below are the steps on how to enable these options

1. Access the SCAI 10 Analysis Server web interface.
2. Click on Configure ->Configurations.
   
   
    
3. Configurations page should list all the available configurations. Select the configuration for which you want to add the debugging options.
   
   
    
4. On Configurations settings page under Advanced Settings click on 'Show advanced configuration settings'.
   
   
    
5. Under the Logging sections you will find 3 options. Enable all three options.
   
   
   
   Verbose logging is equivalent to verbose option
   Include application exceptions is equivalent to logapplicationexceptions option
   Include methods not instrumented is equivalent to logni option
   
   
   
6. For adding dumpjittedmethods⁺ option find the Configuration Overrides section.
   
   
    
7. In the text box provided add the following parameter {"dumpjittedmethods":true} and click on save to save the configuration changes.
   
   
   
    

⁺dumpjittedmethods option is only for DotNet Instrumentation and should be only used at the direction of Riverbed Technical Support
