+
+### Configure the CoScale agent for host application monitoring
+
+To monitor applications in a non-container environment you need to enable the plugins on the agent of the software you want to monitor. The resource plugin is enabled by default, but you probably also want to enable other plugins. For a web server running Tomcat i.e. you would enable the Tomcat plugin by clicking on it. You can enable as many plugins as you like.
+
+
+
+Some plugins require further configuration, read and follow the instructions carefully. If necessary, apply the proposed changes to the server as shown in the instructions and fill in the required fields. After saving your configuration the CoScale agent will pick-up the new configuration and start to monitor your applications.
