We're using it internally, but it's not well-tested.\n\n## Installation\n\nFor now, you'll need to add this repo as a buildpack to your application. We'll release it on Heroku Elements soon!\n\n~Follow the instructions on the [Heroku Elements page](https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/github/heroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite).~\n\n## Configuration\n\nConfigure this buildpack by setting configuration variables for your app. At minimum, you must set:\n- `COLLECTOR_SATELLITE_KEY`: the satellite requires this to function.\n- `COLLECTOR_PLAIN_PORT`: the satellite tries to bind to port 80 by default, which will not work with Heroku.\n- `COLLECTOR_SATELLITE_TYPE_FLAVOR`: **Required** Must be set to `micro`\n- `COLLECTOR_SAMPLE_ONE_IN_N`: **Required** Must be set to to a sampling value. Set to `1` to sample all traces.\n\nAdditional configuration variables can be found [in LightStep's documentation](https://docs.lightstep.com/docs/docker-install-and-configure-satellites).\n\n## Notes\n\nWe'd love [contributions](./CONTRIBUTING.md) if you have any! We don't have any real roadmap for this buildpack, but we're open to any ideas you may have - [file an issue](https://github.com/github/heroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite) and let us know what you think!\n\nAll discussion should happen on the repo in issues; however, we can also be contacted at `opensource+heroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite@github.com` if the need arises.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgithub%2Fheroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgithub%2Fheroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgithub%2Fheroku-buildpack-lightstep-satellite/lists"}
