Instrument Cassandra in a Linux Environment

To instrument Cassandra in a Linux environment:
  1. Open the apache-cassandra-x.x.x/bin/cassandra.in.sh file.
  2. Add the javaagent argument at the top of the file: 
    JVM_OPTS=-javaagent:<agent_home>/javaagent.jar

    For example:

    JVM_OPTS=-javaagent:/home/software/appdynamics/agent/javaagent.jar
  3. Restart the Cassandra server for the changes to take effect.
