oragent

A vendor agnostic agent to control and observe your distributed systems,
democratizing collection and exporting of telemetry.
We take the hassle out of your engineering process to deploy distributed applications

Benefits

• Instrument your code once with OpenCensus/OpenTelemetry, in at least 7 languages and export to a variety of backends
• Full insights into the states of your applications with various signals
• Ubiquity -- oragent can be deployed on any cloud and platform, at any stage of development and production
• Introspection -- no more need to guess what is going on inside your processes and how they interact
• Control -- dynamically control the behavior of your applications
• Reduced cognitive load -- we've worked on the problem of observability for the past couple of years and we use data driven approaches to making products, to ensure you don't have to spend a whole lot of precious time and energy finding problems with your systems, oragent will do that for you
• Analysis and collection -- we'll collect the data for you and give you insights into what's happening to your applications

Quickstart

We’ll get started with oragent in hopefully less than 5 minutes and you’ll be able to see the insights that you can get from using it!

Requirements

* Docker
* Git

Clone the source

git clone https://github.com/orijtech/oragent && cd oragent

Update setup file

Please update your postgres/setup.sql file to look like the following file

Start it up

• Run docker-compose up in your terminal and visit http://localhost:8877/.
  

You should be able to see a blank screen like this:

Run an OpenCensus/OpenTelemetry agent compatible app

Please run an OpenCensus/OpenTelemetry agent compatible app, for example any of these:

• \* Go sample
• \* Python sample
• \* WebJS and Node.js samples
• \* OpenCensus Agent guides

After the application has been running for a couple of seconds or a while, your screen at http://localhost:8877/ might start to look like this

Please click on any one of the prominently filled circles aka “nodes” which will then perhaps show a screen like this:

Feedback

Please feel free to fill out our observability survey, but also we enjoy interactions so please tell us about your experience using oragent!

Hosted service

We plan on launching a hosted service that’ll be available on the major clouds, please click here to get more information.
