[Hawkular-dev] Hawkular APM and instrumenting clojure

[Gary Brown]

Hi Neil

Sounds strange. Would it be possible to try running the server outside docker to see if there may be issues there.

If you create the jira with reproducer then we will investigate aswell.

Thanks for the additional info.

Regards
Gary
