Public Reference Repository for Instana Agent Updates

Instana Agent Update Repository

This repository contains all released Instana agent versions.

There can be potentially many different release branches, like alpha or beta, but currently there is only one: public

This release branch is referenced in each agent installation in etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg

with the line: http://repo-public.instana.io/artifactory/features-public@id=features@snapshots@snapshotsUpdate=always (This url matches the URL from pom.xml distribution management section)

Updates from that repository will be pulled automatically by the agent. The update interval is defined in etc/instana/com.instana.agent.main.config.UpdateManager.cfg.

Should automatic update not be desired, it is possible to pin the agent to a specific version. This can be done in etc/instana/com.instana.agent.bootstrap.AgentBootstrap.cfg, where the version needs to correspond to a commit of the respective release branch, like 06fba01ca3c13265c0ac33bfcb4e5b0ef08ec385. Once the version is pinned, no updates are performed anymore.
