Configure Lightrun with Spring Boot¶
Lightrun has excellent support for Spring Boot applications right out of the box.
Spring Boot has several deployment methods and each requires a different integration approach:
Executable JAR¶
Executable JAR is one of the most common deployment methods and the easiest to support. Adding the standard agent code -agentpath:<install_dir>/agent/lightrun_agent.so to the -jar command line will work seamlessly.
Linux Service¶
The Executable JAR can be deployed as a Linux service under systemd or init.d. When enabling this mode you need to first define an environment variable that would pass the agent configuration to the service.
This environment variable must be defined before the service. It uses the standard agent syntax:
JAVA_OPTS=-agentpath:<install_dir>/agent/lightrun_agent.so
War/EAR deployment¶
This mode runs Spring Boot hosted within an application server e.g. Tomcat. To support such a deployment please read the respective documentation e.g. for Tomcat you can read this.
Spring Native¶
At this time Spring Native isn't supported by Lightrun. We're actively investigating the related process, please contact us if you're interested in this integration.
