jboss 7.1.4 doesnt start with apm agent in domain mode

[Stefan Pivoda]

hi, jboss 7.1.4 (opejdk 1.8.0_161) in domain mode doesnt start and doesnt show any log message at all when trying to start with apm agent 10.7SP3.
based on some KBs i attached logManager into system-properties as well, bud it didnt help.
the modified part of the domain.xml is attached below. nothing else was changed on the jboss part.
we tried to disable autoprobe in the agent profile, but it didnt help either.
do you have any idea what the rootcause could be and how to solve it? or a working/used domain.xml that i could use to compare it with.

Does the JVM log gets created? What is on the console command when starting?

[Haruhiko Davis]

"java.util.logging.manager" and "jboss.modules.system.pkgs" should be done in domain.conf in the JBoss 'bin' folder, not the host.xml.
This needs to be done on each slave. If the master is also running JVMs, then the same change also needs to be made to it.

Also make sure you're pointing to the right location for the additional JARs. Patched JBoss servers put the updated JARs into a hidden directory.
