We are expected to create a file named AI-Agent.xml place it in resources folder along with agent jar. War packaging scenario these files end up in WEB-INF/classes/) . How can we deploy the agent jar (applicationinsights-agent-2.5.0.jar) to the wwwroot directory ?

end goal: get log4j to work with Azure Linux WebApp (via JAVA_OPTS Value: -javaagent:D:/home/site/wwwroot/applicationinsights-agent-2.5.0.jar)

I understand we can manually place the agen jar in the wwwroot folder (via ftp) . what is the best practice to automate it ? or am I missing something here?

@abymsft Thank you for your inquiry. This issue is being investigated by a service area engineer and will update you when accurate information is available.

@abymsft Here is a solution using Visual Studio:

Place the jar in the wwwroot folder
Right click on the file properties from Solution Explorer.
Set the "Copy to Output Directory" property to "Copy always" (or "Copy if newer" if applicable)

When you now build your application, you should be able to find the jar file in the wwwroot directory. Hope this helps.

@abymsft Any update here?

The solution in question is a java spring boot mvc solution. Being used in IDEs like eclipse and VsCode. The agent jat cannot be a part pf the application jar. It has to sit outside the application jar. Since the ask is it automate it. I was thinking more towards azuredevops/github.

BhargaviAnnadevara commented 4 years ago

Ok. My comment above addresses it using Visual Studio, but if the ask is to automate it, using Azure DevOps Services will be the right way to go. You might want to check the Java with Azure DevOps Services docs to explore the available options.
