Custom Sources

A Custom Source is a dynamic group of agents and tags defined by a chosen set of conditions, like a shared property (tag or hostname). Using a Custom Source, you can create a dynamic list of similar agents and tags based on a set of conditions and simultaneously apply Lightrun Logs, Metrics, and Snapshots to the list.

You can create and manage Custom Sources directly from the Management Portal.

  1. Log in to your Lightrun account
  2. Navigate to Entities
  3. Select Custom Sources to open the Custom Sources page.
  4. Click + Create a Custom Source.

    The following modal should appear. Custom Source Modal --half

  5. Enter the Custom Source name, specify the relevant conditions, and click Create a Custom Source to create the Custom Source.
