Can you start the Datomic JVM with a custom JVM agent?

Question

Many (all?) JVM tracing tools use a Java agent to get their data. Adding general support, if possible, for launching Datomic Cloud with a specified Java agent would be great. This would then allow folks using New Relic, AppDynamics, Datadog, Sentry, etc. to use Datomic Cloud with the tooling they are already using and expect to have available.

I am particularly interested in starting the Datomic JVM with the Datadog Java agent (https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/setup/java/).

Answer 1

Currently, you cannot start the Datomic JVM with a custom JVM agent. However, we are looking at options for a future feature to support this use case. I will update this thread when I have more information.

Hi, Jaret:

Does this (cannot start with a custom JVM agent) apply to On Prem too?

Thanks,
