This buildpack is used to Install Takipi on a working Heroku JVM application (Java, Scala, Gradle, Clojure, Grails, Play). Configuring Takipi is a quick 3 steps: provision, install and connect.

Using the CLi, add the Takipi Heroku addon:

heroku addons:create takipi:lite

You can also use the Heroku dashboard to achieve the same. Have a look here.

In order to use this buildpack enter the directory of your app.

For a new app (If you already have a running app - go ahead the next level): By default, Heroku will choose the best buildpack for your app automatically. But in many cases, you will need to explicitly define the JVM specific language buildpack:

heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/takipi/heroku-buildpack-takipi.git

Takipi needs to attach to your Java process by adding -agentlib:TakipiAgent jvm argument. Your Procfile should resemble this sample:

web: java $JAVA_OPTS -agentlib:TakipiAgent -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

Rebuild your app to finalize the setup.

You're all done! Head to https://app.takipi.com to see the magic.
