Connect your source code

Learn how to connect your code repository to the monitored service. Help your developers access the code repository, branch, and commits corresponding to the errors for efficient code change tracing.

Prerequisites

• You must have an agent configured.
• Setup a Connector for the code repository you intend to track. If you do not have a code repository connector, then go to Setup Connector.

Set up Source Attach

1. Get the code connector id.

   1. Navigate to Connectors under the Projects.

   2. Select the connector you intend to use.

   3. Copy the identifier.

      

2. Add source attach information for the agent

The following agent environment variables can be added so that your code repository can map to the service you want to track. Alternatively, if your project generates multiple jars, you can attach source information with each jar by adding the following attributes in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in the jar.

Required Environment Variable	Manifest Attribute	Description	Example
ET_REPOSITORY_CONNECTOR_ID	Harness-Repository-Connector-Id	ID for the code repository conenctor you created	coderepoconnector
ET_REPOSITORY_COMMIT	Harness-Repository-Commit	CommitHashOrReleaseTag for the code you are want to track. Note that commit and branch both are not required. Only one of them is required. If both fields are provided, then commit takes a higher priority.	12a69d4c668ce126fc104f4d58f3d7ed85403v1h
ET_REPOSITORY_BRANCH	Harness-Repository-Branch	Name of the branch you are tracking	pre-prod
ET_REPOSITORY_SOURCES_ROOT	Harness-Repository-Sources-Root	Requires a reference to the repository name; optionally, you can provide additional paths to prepend to the file you want to track	event-generator/backend/src/main/java

Examples:

Environment Variables

Example of adding environment variables:

ENV ET_COLLECTOR_URL=https://collector.et.harness.io/prod1/
ENV ET_APPLICATION_NAME=yourapp
ENV ET_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=1
ENV ET_ENV_ID=env1
ENV ET_TOKEN=b34*****-****-****-****-***********42a
ENV ET_REPOSITORY_CONNECTOR_ID=coderepoconnector
ENV ET_REPOSITORY_BRANCH=pre-prod
ENV ET_REPOSITORY_SOURCES_ROOT=event-generator/backend/src/main/java

Maven

Example of adding manifest attributes using maven :

Add this in the <build>/<plugins> section of your pom.xml

<plugin>
<groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${git-commit-id-plugin.version}</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>get-the-git-infos</id>
        <goals>
            <goal>revision</goal>
        </goals>
        <phase>validate</phase>
    </execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
    <dotGitDirectory>${project.basedir}/.git</dotGitDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
    <archive>
        <manifestEntries>
            <Harness-Repository-Connector-Id>coderepoconnect</Harness-Repository-Connector-Id>
            <Harness-Repository-Commit>${git.commit.id}</Harness-Repository-Commit>
            <Harness-Repository-Sources-Root>event-generator/backend/src/main/java</Harness-Repository-Sources-Root>
        </manifestEntries>
    </archive>
</configuration>
<plugin>

Gradle

Example of adding manifest attributes using gradle:

Add this in the build.gradle file:

jar {
  manifest {
    attributes(
      'Main-Class': 'com.harness.ExceptionGenerator',
      'Harness-Repository-Connector-Id': 'coderepoconnect',
      'Harness-Repository-Commit' : "${gitRevision}",
      'Harness-Repository-Sources-Root': 'event-generator/backend/src/main/java'
    ) 
  }
}

In the above example, the commit id for the latest commit can be fetched from git using some gradle plugins. For example, the plugin org.ajoberstar:grgit can be used as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {
    	maven {
      		url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    	}
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "org.ajoberstar:grgit:1.1.0"
    }
}
ext {
	// Open the Git repository in the current directory.
    git = org.ajoberstar.grgit.Grgit.open(file('.'))
    // Get commit id of HEAD.
    gitRevision = git.head().id
}

3. Restart your application after installing the Error Tracking Agent.

4. Navigate to the ARC Screen by selecting an event on the Event Summary page. Clicking on the repository URL takes you to the code repository.
