Getting Started - Linux
This tutorial guides you through the process of integrating the 1DS SDK into your existing C++ Linux app or service.
1. Clone the repository
Run git clone https://github.com/microsoft/cpp_client_telemetry.git to clone the repo. If your project requires UTC to send telemetry, you need to add --recurse-submodules when cloning to tell git to add lib/modules repo. You will be prompted to enter your credentials to clone. Use your MSFT GitHub username and GitHub token.
2. Build all
Ubuntu and other Debian-based distros
Run build.sh script in the root folder of the source tree. This will fetch the necessary build tools and build the SDK. You will be prompted to enter your root password in order to install the necessary build tools and the resulting SDK package.
RedHat / CentOS distros
Run source build-rhel.sh then run build.sh. Older versions of RedHat require devtoolset-7 or above. devtoolset-7 - Developer Toolset is designed for developers working on CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform. It provides current versions of the GNU Compiler Collection, GNU Debugger, and other development, debugging, and performance monitoring tools.
Using Docker for builds
Docker on Windows can be used to build SDK in Docker image. Please refer to build-docker.cmd for details.
3. Integrate the SDK into your C++ project
SDK package contains headers and library installed at the following locations:
- Headers: /usr/local/include/mat
- Library: /usr/local/lib/${arch}/libmat.a
1DS SDK is built using cmake, but you can explore building it with any other build system of your choice.
4. Instrument your code to send a telemetry event
1. Include the main 1DS SDK header file in your main.cpp by adding the following statement to the top of your app's implementation file
#include "LogManager.hpp"
2. Use namespace by adding the following statement after your include statements at the top of your app's implementation file
using namespace Microsoft::Applications::Events;
3. Create the default LogManager instance for your project using the following macro in your main file
LOGMANAGER_INSTANCE
4. Initialize the SDK, create and send a telemetry event, and then flush the event queue and shut down the telemetry
logging system by adding the following statements to your main() function.
ILogger* logger = LogManager::Initialize("0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef-01234567-0123-0123-0123-0123456789ab-0123");
logger->LogEvent("My Telemetry Event");
...
LogManager::FlushAndTeardown();
You're done! You can now compile and run your app, and it will send a telemetry event using your ingestion key to your tenant.
Please refer to EventSender sample for more details. Other sample apps can be found here. All of our SDK samples require CMake build system, but you may consume the SDK using any other alternate build system of your choice (GNU Make, gn, etc.).
