Here are the steps to set up:

1. Search for ObserveAny in the AWS Marketplace.
2. Subscribe to ObserveAny.
3. Log in or register for an ObserveAny account.
4. Create a subscription instance.

Preparations for Setup

To ensure a smooth setup process, please prepare the following items:

1. Text editor.
2. Agent software package.
3. Namespace of the subscription instance.
4. Token of the subscription instance.
5. gRPC address of the subscription instance.

Getting Started with Java Agent Configuration

1. Download the Java Agent software package. If you haven't downloaded it yet, click Download to start.
2. Extract the downloaded Java Agent package and open the config/agent.config file with a text editor.
3. Modify the agent.service_name in the file to the name of your current project.
4. Set agent.namespace to the namespace of the subscription instance.
5. Update agent.authentication with the token of the subscription instance.
6. Adjust collector.backend_service to the gRPC address of the subscription instance.
7. Set agent.force_tls to "true" to enable TLS data transmission.

Configuring Your Java Application

Add the -javaagent option to the startup command of your Java application.

For example:

java -javaagent:/skywalking-agent/skywalking-agent.jar -jar your-application-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

At this point, all the configurations are complete. Click Console on the service instance operation button in the Dashboard and open the Console

Good luck :)
