Datadog Process Agent
Installation
See the Live Processes docs for installation instructions.
Development or running from source
Pre-requisites:
go >= 1.11.5invoke
Check out the repo in your $GOPATH
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/DataDog
git clone git@github.com:DataDog/datadog-agent.git
cd datadog-agent
Pull down the latest dependencies via dep:
inv -e deps
inv -e build
You can now run the Agent on the command-line:
./bin/process-agent/process-agent -config $PATH_TO_PROCESS_CONFIG_FILE
If you modify any of the .proto files you must rebuild the *.pb.go files with
inv process-agent.protobuf
Development
The easiest way to build and test is inside a Vagrant VM. You can provision the VM by running ./pkg/process/tools/dev_setup.sh and SSHing into the VM with vagrant ssh (vagrant must be installed.)
The VM will mount your local $GOPATH, so you can edit source code with your editor of choice.
For development on the network-tracer, rake ebpf:nettop will run a small testing program which periodically prints statistics about TCP/UDP traffic inside the VM.
