Configure the Bearer Agent

The Bearer Agent allows you to update the configuration in your code using the following syntax after installing and requiring the bearer-agent gem:

Bearer.init_config do |config|	
  config.secret_key =  "YOUR_BEARER_SECRET_KEY" # Required, string: Your Bearer private key	
  config.disabled = false # Optional, boolean: enable/disable Bearer globally
end

Available Configuration Options

The following is a list of all available configuration options.

For more on using the strip_sensitive_data, strip_sensitive_keys, and strip_sensitive_regex configuration properties see Keep your Data Protected.

Setting an application's environment name

Bearer uses your application's environment variable or the configuration to determine the environments that exist for an application in the Bearer Dashboard. For Ruby, Bearer will look for any of the following environment variables to determine the name:

• RUBY_ENV

• RAILS_ENV

• RACK_ENV

• APP_ENV

If the config.environment is set in your agent configuration, it will override any of the above ENV names. If no environment name can be detected through environment variables or the configuration, the environment will be set to development.
