Server Side Configuration should override `application_logging` environment variables
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Description
Currently, if application_logging settings are returned from server side configuration (beta), but an environment variable overrides the setting, ie:
ENV NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_LOGGING_ENABLED=false
or
ENV NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_LOGGING_FORWARDING_ENABLED=false
the server side configuration is not overriding the environment variable.
Acceptance Criteria
As a user, if I enable server side configuration, and set application_logging.enabled=true, but locally for my agent I have ENV NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_LOGGING_ENABLED=false defined, my agent will use the server side configuration instead of the environment variable, and forward the application logs.
Design Consideration/Limitations
This is supported for other server side configuration settings.
Dependencies
n/a
Additional context
This is related to a new feature to enable server side configuration for application_logging
When testing this functionality it is advised to use an APM staging account as support for application logging config via server side will be rolled out there before prod. If you have any questions reach out to me or rjohnson on slack.
As of Dec 18th 2024:
I think it will be rolled out 100% in staging on Thursday
20% in prod on Friday
So if they want to test in prod there is a feature flag to allow enabling in the UI
However right now we are hiding the UI if the environment variables are there
