How to install the agent to monitor? #59

Closed GitHubDiom closed 3 years ago

GitHubDiom commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I have deployed the application by docker-compose up command, and I got a trial account at this website. But i am confusing the way to get the INSTANA_EUM_KEY and INSTANA_EUM_REPORTING_URL, which seems useful for another docker-compose up.

I have no idea the logic of the agent's installation, and what is the INSTANA_AGENT_KEY?

Is needed to install the agent first (in my application running host?), and then get the INSTANA_EUM_KEY and INSTANA_EUM_REPORTING_URL.

Thankyou

The INSTANA_EUM_KEY and INSTANA_EUM_REPORTING_URL are only for end user monitoring at the browser. https://www.instana.com/docs/website_monitoring#installation

To monitor the application i.e. what's running in the docker containers, just run the agent as a docker container. https://www.instana.com/docs/setup_and_manage/host_agent/on/docker You will find the start up script already populated on the add agent dialogue.
