Configuration
The Java agent can be configured with either system properties or agent parameters. These settings can be used to set the following options:
| Name | Description | Required | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| api.key | The authentication token used to authorize the agent | true | -Dnerdvision.api.key=4ioj19393h980hiyu3jly |
| name | The name of the agent, can be useful to filter to specific agents | (optional) | -Dnerdvision.name=agent007 |
| tags | The tags for the agent, can be useful to filter to specific agents | (optional) | -Dnerdvision.tags=app=shop,version=2.1.0 |
System Properties¶
To set configuration via system properties prefix the configuration name with -Dnerdvision. for example
-javaagent:/full/path/to/nerdvision.jar -Dnerdvision.api.key=4ioj19393h980hiyu3jly -Dnerdvision.name=agent007 -Dnerdvision.tags=app=shop,version=2.1.0
Agent parameters¶
To set configuration via agent parameters attach them to the end of the agent definition. For example if you want to set the name via agent parameters then the agent definition should look like this (note they do not have the nerdvision. prefix):
-javaagent:/full/path/to/nerdvision.jar=api.key=4ioj19393h980hiyu3jly,name=agent007,tags=app=shop;version=2.1.0
Tags in agent string
Tags set in the agent string should be separated with ; not , as seen in the example above.
