Kubernetes Agent v1.8.8

Includes Java Agent v2.2.61

September 4, 2025

• New Improved display of application information in the Container Map when installing APM in Kubernetes environments

  If application information is not displayed in the container map, add an option to the environment variables of the container manifest (YAML) where APM is installed. This option specifies the absolute path of the agent inside the container.

  Language-Specific Options

  • Java

    WHATAP_JAVA_AGENT_PATH

    Note

    There are cases where you use Java APM but the container image is minimal and does not allow execution of Java commands inside. In such cases, register the full path of the java executable in the container environment variable using the WHATAP_EXECUTABLE_JAVA_PATH key.

    Java example

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: my-java-app
    spec:
      replicas: 1
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: my-java-app
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: my-java-app
        spec:
          containers:
            - name: my-java-container
              image: your-java-app-image:latest
              env:
                # Java APM jar path
                - name: WHATAP_JAVA_AGENT_PATH
                  value: /whatap/whatap.agent-2.2.35.jar
                # Full path to java executable in minimal images
                - name: WHATAP_EXECUTABLE_JAVA_PATH
                  value: /layers/paketo-buildpacks_adoptium/jre/bin/java
