As you can see from Topic, the Ignition gateway fails to start and automatically stops shortly after each startup, a strange problem, Windows logging images showing errors, attached to log files and configuration files, Ignition version 7.9.9.

Try starting it without loading whatever this "app dynamics" java agent is.

Comment out these lines in ignition.conf:

```auto
wrapper.java.additional.8=-javaagent:d:\appl\appd\javaagent\javaagent.jar
wrapper.java.additional.9=-Dappagent.start.timeout=5000

```
