Installation

1. Download our go heimdall agent by running the following command inside your application folder. This add the heimdall agent to the go.mod file:

go get -d github.com/ctrlb-hq/heimdall-go

At later point in time, you can update the package to latest version by running: go get -u github.com/ctrlb-hq/heimdall-go

1. Import the heimdall package at the top of your main file as follows:

import (
    heimdall "github.com/ctrlb-hq/heimdall-go"
)

1. In your main function, call heimdall.Start() as follows:

heimdall.Start(heimdall.AtlasOptions{
    Apikey:     "<your-api-key-here>",
})

1. Use these build flags while building your application:

go build -gcflags="all=-N -l"

Avoid setting -w and -s ldflags. Doing so causes the compiler to strip the debug symbols from the binary which is needed by our agent.

If you're building on Alpine, remember to add tags -tags=alpine.
