#run_discovery ⇒ Hash

Runs a discovery process to determine where we can contact the host agent. This is usually just localhost but in docker can be found on the default gateway. Another option is the INSTANA_AGENT_HOST environment variable. This also allows for manual configuration via ::Instana.config.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    a hash with :agent_host, :agent_port values or empty hash

#spawn_background_thread ⇒ Object

Spawns the background thread and calls start. This method is separated out for those who wish to control which thread the background agent will run in.

This method can be overridden with the following:

module Instana

class Agent
  def spawn_background_thread
    # start thread
    start
  end
end

#start ⇒ Object

Starts the timer loop for the timers that were initialized in the setup method. This is blocking and should only be called from an already initialized background thread.
