Lightrun Driver

Name: lightrun-java

The Lightrun Nomad driver is used to execute Java applications packaged into a Java Jar file and automatically add the Lightrun agent to them.

Lightrun is a developer-native observability platform. With Lightrun you can add logs, snapshots (virtual breakpoints), and metrics to production applications without the need for redeployments or restarts. You can use Lightrun directly from your IDE or CLI to observe, understand and debug your application at runtime.

Refer to the Lightrun documentation for more information about Lightrun.

Prerequisites

Download or clone the Lightrun driver repository.
Find the lightrun-java-driver driver in the repository's root folder.
Copy the driver to your Nomad plugins directory (or create one if it doesn't exist).
Grant executable permissions to the driver file:
```
$ chmod +x ./plugins/lightrun-java-driver
```

When running the Nomad agent, make sure to specify the path to your plugins directory:

$ sudo nomad agent -dev -bind 0.0.0.0 -log-level DEBUG -plugin-dir=<path_to_plugins_directory>

Task Configuration

task "run-with-lightrun" {
  driver = "lightrun-java"

  config {
    lightrun_server = "https://app.lightrun.com/company/<COMPANY-NAME>"
    lightrun_secret = "<COMPANY-SECRET>"
    lightrun_certificate = "ee80811b38e7e6c2dc4cc372cbea86bd86b446b012e427f2e19bf094afba5d12"
  }
}
