Make installation automatable

[LouisKottmann]

Hello,

Right now when I run bundle exec appsignal install $APPSIGNAL_KEY it asks me a bunch of questions that we'd like Ops to handle and not Devs (especially in the case of many apps).

However bundle exec appsignal install --help does not offer an option to do this via flags or environment variables, and reading install.rb I don't think it is possible at all for now.

Would you consider adding flags to the install action (or reading env vars, whatever works for you)?

Regards

Hi Louis, thanks for trying AppSignal!

Actually one of the questions the installer asks is wether you'd like to use env vars. If you choose that option it will output a list of env vars you can send to your ops person.

This is just for convenience, AppSignal is fully configurable through the environment. You can find the options here: http://docs.appsignal.com/gem-settings/configuration.html

Does that help?

So if I specify these env vars I don't have to run bundle exec appsignal install?

That's correct. The installer is just a convenient way to get a config, using it is optional.

Alright thanks!
