# Configure APM platforms for Tomcat, JBoss, or Java SE apps in Azure App Service
This article shows how to connect Java applications deployed on Azure App Service with Azure Monitor Application Insights, NewRelic, and AppDynamics application performance monitoring (APM) platforms.
[!INCLUDE [java-variants](includes/configure-language-java/java-variants.md)]
## Configure Application Insights
Azure Monitor Application Insights is a cloud native application monitoring service that enables customers to observe failures, bottlenecks, and usage patterns to improve application performance and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). With a few clicks or CLI commands, you can enable monitoring for your Node.js or Java apps, autocollecting logs, metrics, and distributed traces, eliminating the need for including an SDK in your app. For more information about the available app settings for configuring the agent, see the [Application Insights documentation](/azure/azure-monitor/app/java-standalone-config).
# [Azure portal](#tab/portal)
To enable Application Insights from the Azure portal, go to **Application Insights** on the left-side menu and select **Turn on Application Insights**. By default, a new application insights resource of the same name as your web app is used. You can choose to use an existing application insights resource, or change the name. Select **Apply** at the bottom.
# [Azure CLI](#tab/cli)
To enable via the Azure CLI, you need to create an Application Insights resource and set a couple app settings on the Azure portal to connect Application Insights to your web app.
1. Enable the Applications Insights extension
```azurecli
az extension add -n application-insights
```
2. Create an Application Insights resource using the following CLI command. Replace the placeholders with your desired resource name and group.
```azurecli
az monitor app-insights component create --app <resource-name> -g <resource-group> --location westus2 --kind web --application-type web
```
Note the values for `connectionString` and `instrumentationKey`, you'll need these values in the next step.
> [!NOTE]
> To retrieve a list of other locations, run `az account list-locations`.
3. Set the instrumentation key, connection string, and monitoring agent version as app settings on the web app. Replace `<instrumentationKey>` and `<connectionString>` with the values from the previous step.
# [Linux](#tab/linux)
```azurecli
az webapp config appsettings set -n <webapp-name> -g <resource-group> --settings "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY=<instrumentationKey>" "APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=<connectionString>" "ApplicationInsightsAgent_EXTENSION_VERSION=~3" "XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Mode=default"
```
# [Windows](#tab/windows)
```azurecli
az webapp config appsettings set -n <webapp-name> -g <resource-group> --settings "APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY=<instrumentationKey>" "APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=<connectionString>" "ApplicationInsightsAgent_EXTENSION_VERSION=~3" "XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Mode=default" "XDT_MicrosoftApplicationInsights_Java=1"
```

## Configure New Relic
To configure New Relic:
# [Linux](#tab/linux)
::: zone pivot="java-jboss"
> [!NOTE]
> The latest [New Relic documentation](https://docs.newrelic.com/install/java/?deployment=appServer&framework=jboss) lists JBoss EAP support up to 7.x. JBoss EAP 8.x is not yet supported.
::: zone-end
1. Create a NewRelic account at [NewRelic.com](https://newrelic.com/signup)
2. [Download the Java agent from NewRelic](https://download.newrelic.com/newrelic/java-agent/newrelic-agent/current/newrelic-java.zip).
3. Copy your license key, you need it to configure the agent later.
4. [SSH into your App Service instance](configure-linux-open-ssh-session.md) and create a new directory */home/site/wwwroot/apm*.
5. Upload the unpacked NewRelic Java agent files into a directory under */home/site/wwwroot/apm*. The files for your agent should be in */home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic*.
6. Modify the YAML file at */home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic/newrelic.yml* and replace the placeholder license value with your own license key.
7. In the Azure portal, browse to your application in App Service and create a new Application Setting.
::: zone pivot="java-javase,java-jboss"
Create an environment variable named `JAVA_OPTS` with the value `-javaagent:/home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic/newrelic.jar`.
::: zone-end
::: zone pivot="java-tomcat"
Create an environment variable named `CATALINA_OPTS` with the value `-javaagent:/home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic/newrelic.jar`.
::: zone-end
# [Windows](#tab/windows)
1. Create a NewRelic account at [NewRelic.com](https://newrelic.com/signup)
2. Download the Java agent from NewRelic. It has a file name similar to *newrelic-java-x.x.x.zip*.
3. Copy your license key, you need it to configure the agent later.
4. [SSH into your App Service instance](configure-linux-open-ssh-session.md) and create a new directory */home/site/wwwroot/apm*.
5. Upload the unpacked NewRelic Java agent files into a directory under */home/site/wwwroot/apm*. The files for your agent should be in */home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic*.
6. Modify the YAML file at */home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic/newrelic.yml* and replace the placeholder license value with your own license key.
7. In the Azure portal, browse to your application in App Service and create a new Application Setting.
::: zone pivot="java-javase"
Create an environment variable named `JAVA_OPTS` with the value `-javaagent:/home/site/wwwroot/apm/newrelic/newrelic.jar`.
::: zone-end
::: zone pivot="java-tomcat"

> [!NOTE]
> If you already have an environment variable for `JAVA_OPTS`, append the `-javaagent:/...` option to the end of the current value.
