After installing OneAgent, how is deep monitoring of JVMs activated?

Deep monitoring of JVMs is automatically enabled after the installation of OneAgent. This means that as soon as OneAgent is installed on a host that runs a Java application, it begins to instrument JVMs without the need for any additional manual configuration.

The OneAgent technology leverages automatic discovery of processes and services, which include identifying and hooking into Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) so that it can start collecting performance metrics and other relevant monitoring data right away. This capability allows for efficient monitoring with minimal intervention from the user, ensuring that critical performance insights are available almost immediately after the installation.

Moreover, there is no requirement for system restarts to activate deep monitoring, as the OneAgent injects itself into the JVM processes dynamically. This eliminates service interruption and allows the JVM to continue running while the monitoring is being initiated.

Thus, the automatic activation feature is a significant advantage, enabling organizations to swiftly begin gaining valuable insights into their Java applications without delays or additional setup steps.
