Cloudinsight Agent

Cloudinsight Agent is written in Go for collecting metrics from the system it's running on, or from other services, and sending them to Cloudinsight.

Building from source

To build Cloudinsight Agent from the source code yourself you need to have a working Go environment with version 1.5 or greater installed.

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/cloudinsight
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cloudinsight
$ git clone https://github.com/cloudinsight/cloudinsight-agent
$ cd cloudinsight-agent
$ make build

Usage

First you need to set a license key, which can be found at https://cloud.oneapm.com/#/settings.

$ cp cloudinsight-agent.conf.example cloudinsight-agent.conf
$ vi cloudinsight-agent.conf
...
license_key = "*********************"

Run the agent in foreground:

$ ./bin/cloudinsight-agent
