Description
In enterprise context the centralized DataDog (DD) observability solution is widely used. In order to get traceability on the JCM level DD is offering a Java tracing library. As this must be passed to the JVM as parameter "jvm -javaagent:/path/to/instrumentation.jar ...the application stuff" the startup scripts need an option to add instrumentation libraries. The normal capabilities for plugins or custom enhancements will not work for this class of extensions. Could this type of enhancements be considered in the setup/startup scripts please?

Determine how an option for external instrumentation libraries should be exposed, then verify that the configured -javaagent argument reaches the JVM when the container starts.
