Configuring the Python data collector for on-premises applications
To collect information about Python applications that run in your local environment, you must configure the Python data collector.
Before you begin
- Make sure the Python applications that you want to monitor have unique names. The Python data collector handles two different applications with the same name as one application, which might cause data display issues in the Cloud APM console.
- Download the data collector package from IBM® Passport Advantage® website. For detailed instructions, see Download instructions.
- Configure the data collector package with the make_configuration_packages.sh and configure_agent_images.sh scripts on the system where the Cloud APM server is installed. For detailed instructions, see Configuring the downloaded images.
About this task
The following procedure configures the data collector within your Python application with default settings. To customize data collector configuration, use the environment variables in the data collector configuration files. For more information, see Customizing the Python data collector for on-premises applications.

What to do next
Remember: After you add your Python application to the
Cloud APM console, you can view its monitoring data in
the component named Python Runtime application.
For instructions on how to start the Cloud APM server, see Starting the Cloud APM console. For information about using the Applications editor, see Managing applications.
