Question

I need to read the value of the parameter -javaagent at runtime. How do I access this value programmatically?

Not exactly a duplicate, but your question is covered by [this more general question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1490869/how-to-get-vm-arguments-from-inside-of-java-application) (and the groovy version is more concise) — Hugues M., May 02 '17 at 20:16

You could do this using the JVM's RuntimeMXBean:

prefix = '-javaagent:'
javaAgentValue = java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.runtimeMXBean.inputArguments.find{ it.startsWith(prefix)} ?.substring(prefix.size())
