The AppDynamics Java App Server Agent bootstraps using the javaagent command line option. Add this option to the cassandra (Linux) or cassandra.bat (Windows) file.
To add the javaagent command in a Windows environment
1. Open the apache-cassandra-x.x.x\bin\cassandra.bat file.
2. Add the AppDynamics javaagent to the JAVA_OPTS variable. Make sure to include the drive in the full path to the App Server agent directory.
-javaagent:<agent_home>\javaagent.jar
For example:
set JAVA_OPTS=-ea
-javaagent:C:\appdynamics\agent\javaagent.jar
-javaagent:"%CASSANDRA_HOME%\lib\jamm-0.2.5.jar
. . .

If you are a Self-Service Trial user, add the App Agent for Java javaagent argument to your JVM start script where <my-app-jvm1> is the name you use for the application running on that JVM.
-javaagent:<agent_home>\javaagent.jar=uniqueID=<my-app-jvm1>
3. Restart the Cassandra server. The Cassandra server must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
To add the javaagent command 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
If you are a Self-Service Trial user, add the App Agent for Java javaagent argument to your JVM start script where <my-app-jvm1> is the name you use for the application running on that JVM.
-javaagent:<agent_home>/javaagent.jar=uniqueID=<my-app-jvm1>
