You can instrument Kubernetes® applications using one of these methods:

• Use Init Containers to Instrument Applications
• Use a Docker file to Instrument Applications
• Auto-Instrument Applications with the Cluster Agent

To configure agents for manually instrumented applications, see Best Practices to Configure Agents in Kubernetes.

To establish APM correlation between the Cluster Agent and manually instrumented applications, see Manually Configure App Agents to Correlate with the Cluster Agent.
