Instana Agent Framework

IBM Instana is the only real-time full-stack observability solution: zero sample tracing

The Instana Agent Framework causes an application to be automatically configured to work with a bound Instana instance

Detection CriterionExistence of a single bound Instana service.
  • Existence of a Instana service is defined as the VCAP_SERVICES payload containing a service who's name, label or tag has instana as a substring with at least agentkey and endpointurl set as credentials.
Tags instana-agent=<version>
Tags are printed to standard output by the buildpack detect script

User-Provided Service

Users must provide their own Instana service. A user-provided Instana service must have a name or tag with instana in it so that the Instana Framework will automatically configure the application to work with the service.

The credential payload of the service may contain the following entries:

Name Description
agentkey The agent key is used to create a relationship between the monitoring agent and the environment that it belongs to.
endpointurl This environment variable is your serverless monitoring endpoint. Make sure that you use the correct value for your region that starts with https://serverless-.

Configuration

For general information on configuring the buildpack, including how to specify configuration values through environment variables, refer to Configuration and Extension.
