Using the Java Agent from a Pivotal Cloud Foundry / VMWare Tanzu Application Services

Adding the Sealights java agent into you Pivotal Cloud Foundry / VMWare Tanzu Application Services is done by using the standard java buildpack and configured in the following way:

Option A: In the manifest.yml of your app add the cloudfoundry java-buildpack

---
applications:
-  name: yourApp
    buildpacks:
    - https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack

Option B: Add the buildpack through the command line

cf push -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack

Once done, in order to add Sealights you need to do the following step:

1. Create a User-Provided Service and configure it with an agent token. This should be done once, before configuring the first application.

​Linux:

cf cups sealights -p '{"token":"ey…"}'

Windows:

cf cups sealights -p "{\"token\":\"ey…\"}"

2. Bind the User-Provided Service with your application

cf bind-service [app name] sealights

3. If the build session id, lab id, proxy or other settings need to be configured, you may either:

• hard-code them in manifest.yml:

  env:
    JBP_CONFIG_SEALIGHTS_AGENT: '{lab_id: yourLabId}' 

• pass them as environment variables for the application:
  

  cf set-env [my-application] JBP_CONFIG_SEALIGHTS_AGENT: '{lab_id: myLabId}'

Offline buildpack

If you need to create an offline buildpack without network access you can do so following the instructions here: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack#offline-package
