Using OverOps in Your Java System
Introduction
In this article we'll focus on the software and frameworks that - when used together with the OverOps Java solution - will enable you to achieve the most from OverOps from a features and value standpoint. As you can see from the extensive lists below, OverOps works with many different technologies, so you'll likely find a technology you're already using.
OverOps Interaction with Other Java Agents
OverOps performs isolated machine code instrumentation, so that our Agent doesn't interfere with the bytecode of other agents, and views all code simply as system code. The vast majority of monitoring performed by OverOps takes place in the native code, at a lower level than most other Java agents. This means that OverOps is mostly seamless to other agents at the bytecode level. And, since OverOps has a minimal CPU, memory, and network footprint on your server, the performance of other agents is not affected by its monitoring activity.
Other agents include, for example:
- Dynatrace OneAgent
- AppDynamics
- New Relic
- ServiceNow
- PagerDuty
Non-Supported Agents
There are currently two agents that aren't compatible with the OverOps Java Micro-Agent:
- Dynatrace AppMon Agent
- JRebel Agent

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
| Development Environment | Note |
|---|---|
| Eclipse | Eclipse contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. |
| NetBeans | NetBeans allows you to develop applications from a set of modular software components called modules. NetBeans runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Solaris. |
| IntelliJ | A Java IDE developed by JetBrains for developing computer software. |
Logging Frameworks
When OverOps injects log links into your log files, the OverOps URLs are displayed within the Log View, allowing you to open new errors and exceptions in a new tab directly from the Log View.
Note that while all the loggers support log events, only some support log views.
| Logging Framework | Note | Log Event Supported Frameworks | Log View Supported Frameworks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acl | Acl = org/apache/commons/logging/impl/SimpleLog | Supported | |
| Akka logger | Akka = akka/event/EventStream | Supported | |
| Amdocs | Supported | ||
| AsyncLog4j2 | Supported | ||
| JBoss logger | jboss = org/jboss/logmanager/Logger | Supported | |
| JUL | jul = java/util/logging/Logger | Supported | |
| Logback | Logback = ch/qos/logback/classic/Logger | Supported | Supported |
| Log4j 1.x | Log4j = org/apache/log4j/Category | Supported | Supported |
| Log4j 2.x | log4j2 = org/apache/logging/log4j/core/Logger log4j2 = org/apache/logging/log4j/core/async/AsyncLogger | Supported | Supported Note: The latest Log4J2 version 2.12 is currently not supported by the Agent. |
| Slf4j-simple | sl4j = org/slf4j/impl/SimpleLogger | Supported | |
| Tinylog | tinylog = org/pmw/tinylog/Logger | Supported |
Non-Supported Frameworks
The Cucumber framework converts the feature file into Java code at runtime by instrumenting it. This causes additional instrumentation from OverOps side, which creates job execution delays and affects performance. Therefore, this framework isn't supported in OverOps.
Non-Supported Tools
JProfiler is not supported by OverOps
