Possibility on using Ocelot for Java 1.7 application?

[swarlos6]

Hi there,

i wanted to know if there is a way to use the InspectIT Ocelot Java agent to monitor applications run on Java version lower than 1.8.0? In my case it would be Java 1.7.45.

Thanks for your help :)

Hi @swarlos6 ,
no inspectIT needs Java8.
But we had the same problem at our beginning with inspectIT and we could use some older Version of the OpenCensus-Agent (OC is the underlaying Tracing-Framework of inspectIT). With could do Tracing on Java7. So no metrics in Prometheus/Grafana, but Traces in Jaeger could be seen.
btw: Java7 is EOL .... :-)
