Agent Config

Agent config contains the configuration specs for the Hypertrace agents.

Configs can be set through config file, environment variables or code. For a list of supported environment variables have a look at this list.

Conventions

In order to make sure compatibility across languages and versions, the following conventions must be followed:

All messages and fields should include a comment, describing what the field describes and/or the effect on a certain value, e.g. "when false, permits connecting to the trace endpoint without a certificate".
Fields must not be removed, if there is a need to deprecate a config settings, the field should be marked as deprecated.
Fields should not depend on each others, every field should be independent and self contained to avoid config logic in the libraries.
Time duration fields should include a suffix indicating the time unit e.g. retryIntervalSeconds.
Config must not be modified in runtime by the user through code.

Before submitting a PR, make sure you run the linter:

protolint config.proto

Initialize the git submodules before generating the env vars.

git submodule update  --init  --recursive
