Instana Agent Dynamic Docker Image

This build of the Instana agent requires access to the publicly hosted Instana maven repository in order to download sensors. It may require proxy settings for egress access to:

• the ${INSTANA_AGENT_ENDPOINT}, which may either be for your self-hosted Instana installation or for the Instana SaaS
• the Instana Artifactory repository, unless you set up a mirror and use the INSTANA_MVN_REPOSITORY_URL to direct the Instana Agent to use it

Additional documentation about the usage of this image is available on the Installing the Host Agent on Docker documentation.

Building

Note: Needs Docker 18.09 or higher. Also Experimental features need to be enabled and Buildx CLI plugin needs to be installed.

  --secret id=DOWNLOAD_KEY,src=${HOME}/.INSTANA_DOWNLOAD_KEY \
  --platform="${TARGETPLATFORM}" \
  --build-arg "TARGETPLATFORM=${TARGETPLATFORM}" \

  .

rm -f ${HOME}/.INSTANA_DOWNLOAD_KEY
