Downloading the Node.js Agent

Our Node.js agents (slnodejs) are published in the npm registry. You download it and all its dependencies using the npm repository commands.

Downloading latest version

npm i slnodejs

Downloading the recommended version by Sealights (Best Practice)

For Customers who need to set a specific recommended agent version other than the default latest, the API will provide the recommended agent version that has been set on the dedicated settings page from the dashboard.

In the following examples, replace $DOMAIN with your domain and $SL_TOKEN with your SeaLights agent token

Linux

# Fetch Agent version defined in Sealights dashboard settings 
$SLVERSION=$(curl -X GET "https://$DOMAIN.sealights.co/api/v2/agents/slnodejs/recommended" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $SL_TOKEN" -L)
# Install Sealights Agent (Recommended version)
npm i slnodejs@$SLVERSION

PowerShell

# Fetch Agent version defined in Sealights dashboard settings 
$SLVERSION = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$DOMAIN.sealights.co/api/v2/agents/slnodejs/recommended" -Headers @{ "accept" = "application/json", "Authorization" = "Bearer $SL_TOKEN"}
# Install Sealights Agent (Recommended version)
npm i "slnodejs@$SLVERSION"
