DX Application Performance Management

Hi Guys
I have the following Scenario:

1) Cloud foundry account over IBM Bluemix,
2) A Tomcat Application
3) MOM & Colls over Internet on my datacenter

When i use the java buildpack:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack/

The instrumentation of the CA APM Agent works correctly!!!!!!

Example:

cf push myapplication -p application.war -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git

---------------------------------------------------------------------
But!!!, when i use a Java Liberty app, with DEFAULT buildpack doesn´t work.

Questions:
1) CA Tech, only support java_buildpack?, because the liberty community repository don't contain the introscope Framework,

See....
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack/tree/master/lib/liberty_buildpack/framework

Only can see appdynamics, dynatrace, newrelic agents.............. :(

The CA online Documentation describe the following prerequisites
Java buildpack version 4.4 or higher :(

2) There is a roadmap to support and development for the others buildpacks?

3) How can i do to monitor apps of Bluemix that have a java liberty application server or applications selected from bluemix catalog.

Example:
Liberty for Java(TM) (WAR, liberty-17.0.0_4, buildpack-v3.17.1-20180131-1532, ibmjdk-1.8.0_20171216, env)

4) Somebody has Knowledge about CloudFoundry, i tried to upgrade the default buildpacks with custom packs, but i got this error:
"You are not authorized to perform the requested action"

PDTA: i'm developer/admin of bluemix account

Thanks!!

Regards

Hi Juan:

Asking internally for someone to respond. 

Other Community Members:

Can you help Juan?

Ok Thanks, i  will create a ticket support (how-to) for this! thanks

Hi Juan, We dont have support for the Liberty buildpack yet, we are working on it. Meanwhile, we are also working on a PCF monitoring extension, which regardless of the apps/buildpack you use will provide basic monitoring of the PCF containers and infrastructure. Let us know if you are interested in trying this out. 

Thanks

Hi Nishant, thanks for response,

I started this test because i have a VIP Client with this needs, Some months ago, he started apps migration to Bluemix (IBM Cloud) therefore we need to monitor thats applications,

As mentioned above, others APM platforms meets that needs (years ago), like NR, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, for that reason my customer wants to change our product (CA APM), my company wants to know a roadmap, possible date for that support......... because we need to give feedback to our client

"I think" is not very difficult, these guys developed the java_buildpack framework for CA APM.

But!, i don't know ruby for develop it! only c# & java 

About PCF extension, of course, i wish to try it out!

Thanks
