This resource detector will detect the Instana agent to register the Opentelemetry as a Node.js process. The created resource will be automatically merged with the existing resources and contains the real PID, which is returned from the Instana agent. This mechanism is needed to connect the Node.js Otel process with the incoming Opentelemetry spans.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/resource-detector-instana- INSTANA_AGENT_HOST: The Instana agent hostname.
- INSTANA_AGENT_PORT: The Instana agent port.
- INSTANA_RETRY_TIMEOUT_MS: The resource detector does three retries to connect to the Instana agent. This is the timeout between the retries.
- INSTANA_AGENT_TIMEOUT_MS: The client timeout when connecting the Instana agent.
