JBishop1 (Customer) asked a question.
We used custom jar files to connect to AS400 systems, and had to use a workaround and copy them to a temp folder after each restart. This worked fine, however, since upgrading to 8.0 P08 this no longer works. Looking for a more permanent solution.
Custom jar files for collectors should be uploaded through the UI > Collectors > External Jars. Note that by default there's a limit on the max size for uploaded files, configured under Admin > System > Settings > Files > 'Max upload file size' (default is 10MB).
If there's a problem uploading a specific/valid custom jar file (that is not larger than the configured max), you may want to investigate based on any errors that show up on the UI or logs. For further assistance, you can open a Support Case.
Thank you Najeeb, we did this earlier and only had to adjust the upload size limit in nginix, and it works. I'm assuming the files will remain intact even after restarts, making this a permanent fix. Thanks for your answer!
Yes, custom jar files uploaded through the UI are persistent across restarts.
