datadog-prescript

This is a Heroku buildpack to add datadog/prerunscript.sh in your dyno, and it will add extra tags in the agent.

Extra tags this buildpack will add are;

• al_service
• al_proc_type
• al_proc_subtype

Source and precedence of values

al_service

This is obvious and same among the dynos/pods.

1. $AL_SERVICE
2. $DD_AL_SERVICE
3. "unknown"

al_proc_type

web and worker, depends on each dyno/pod.

1. $AL_PROC_TYPE
2. $DD_AL_PROCMAP[$DYNO_TYPE][0]
3. $DD_AL_PROC_TYPE
4. $DYNO_TYPE
5. "unknown"

al_proc_subtype

The name of program that runs on each dyno/pod.

1. $AL_PROC_SUBTYPE
2. $DD_AL_PROCMAP[$DYNO_TYPE][1]
3. $DD_AL_PROC_SUBTYPE
4. "unknown"

$DD_AL_PROCMAP

$DD_AL_PROCMAP is JSON of { key: [val0, val1], …}

• key should be the dyno type.
• val0 will be used as al_proc_type
• val1 will be used as al_proc_subtype

Note: Buildpack is order-sensitive, but this buildpack does not care where it stands because the important execution timing is when /app/.profile.d/datadog.sh runs, in other words: the boot time.
