JBoss ON agent fails to discover Apache Web Server resource when httpd.conf Include directive contains a lowercase drive letter or a forward-slash (/) due to IllegalArgumentException: Path '' does not exist

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Auto-discover Apache
  • My apache instances don't seem to be auto-discovering

  • Agent log contains the following error:
