Datadog APM agent.

Datadog APM agent

An agent that collects traces from various sources, normalizes and pre-processes them before sending the info to the Datadog backend.

Development

Pre-requisites:

• go 1.7+
• rake

Hacking:

• Sync your Go dependencies with rake restore. This uses glock to sync all deps listed in the GLOCKFILE
• Run rake build to build the trace-agent binary from current source
• Or run rake install to install trace-agent to your $GOPATH

Testing

• Lint with rake lint
• Run the full CI suite locally with rake ci
• Alternatively test individual packages like so go test ./agent
