Monitoring Jetty
The Jetty sensor is automatically deployed and installed after you install the Instana agent.
Supported information
Supported tracing
For this technology, Instana supports tracing. For more information, see Instrumented frameworks and libraries.
Enable JMX
If JMX is not enabled, the following message is displayed in the UI:
Jmx module is not enabled in jetty.
Please enable it to be able to collect data. You can do so by adding --module=jmx to start.ini.
