Options

Specify the options below to configure the Pipeline Bootstrapper:

Name	Description
tenx	Name of pipeline to execute
licenseFile	Path to a file containing the 10x license JWT
licenseKey	10x license JWT (inline)
airgapped	Run without contacting the 10x service
metricEndpoint	10x service Prometheus metrics endpoint
runtimeName	Name to report to the 10x service endpoint for this runtime instance
runtimeAttributes	List of attributes to add to all metrics reporting
includePaths	Pipeline include folders
jarFiles	Jar files to load
quiet	Disable printing binary version information to the console
disabledArgs	Limit argument values that can be set by users
debugEnvVars	List environment variables to debug

`tenx`

Name of pipeline to execute.

Type	Required	Names
String	✔	[tenx, pipeline]

Target pipeline to execute.

For example, to specify the run pipeline and a YAML config file containing launch arguments, use:

$ tenx run @~/my.yaml

The YAML file may specify the pipeline name via a 'tenx' entry, allowing the 'pipeline' argument to be omitted from the command line.

For example (my.yaml):

tenx: run # set the pipeline to 'run'
apiKey: <my-key>
...

Allows for launching the run pipeline via:

$ tenx @~/my.yaml

`licenseFile`

Path to a file containing the 10x license JWT.

Type	Default	Names
String	""	[licenseFile, TENX_LICENSE_FILE]

Path to a file containing the signed 10x license JWT. Preferred over licenseKey for production: the token is not visible in ps output and is easy to rotate by replacing the file.

Download a license from your account.

If both licenseFile and licenseKey are provided, the file wins.

`licenseKey`

10x license JWT (inline).

Type	Default	Names
String	""	[licenseKey, TENX_LICENSE_KEY]

The signed 10x license JWT, passed inline. Discouraged on the command line because the value is visible in ps output; prefer licenseFile in production.

Download a license from your account.

`airgapped`

Run without contacting the 10x service.

Type	Default	Names
Boolean	false	[airgapped, TENX_AIRGAPPED]

When true, the license is verified locally (signature + claims) and no calls are made to the 10x service — no startup validation, no metrics reporting, no user-attribute enrichment. Suitable for fully airgapped deployments where the engine has no path to the vendor SaaS.

When false (default), the engine additionally validates the license against the 10x service at startup; a non-2xx response refuses to start.

demo and limited license types cannot run airgapped — if airgapped: true is set with one of these license types, a warning is logged and the engine runs in online mode anyway.

`metricEndpoint`

10x service Prometheus metrics endpoint.

Type	Default
String	https://prometheus.log10x.com/api/v1/write

Specifies the address of the Prometheus remote write endpoint to write pipeline usage and health metrics.

This argument is only settable in the 10x 'on-premises' build.

`runtimeName`

Name to report to the 10x service endpoint for this runtime instance.

Type	Default
String	""

Specifies a logical name used as a tag value for pipeline metrics. This value identifies instances of the 10x run/compile pipelines when reporting to the 10x service. For example, for a 10x Receiver with optimization enabled for Fluent Bit forwarders collecting events from a broker user-app, this value can be set to: receive_fluentbit_broker.

`runtimeAttributes`

List of attributes to add to all metrics reporting.

Type	Default
List	[]

Specifies a list of key-value pairs in the format key:value to be added as tags to pipeline metrics reported to the 10x service. These tags enable finer-grained filtering and analysis in monitoring systems like Prometheus. Multiple attributes can be combined into a single string using a semicolon (;), e.g., key1:val1;key2:val2.

If a key does not start with tenx_, the prefix tenx_ is automatically prepended to ensure consistency in tag naming conventions. For example, a provided attribute app:my-app will be reported as tenx_app:my-app

  runtimeAttributes:
    - app:reporter
    - env:edge

`includePaths`

Pipeline include folders.

Type	Default
List	[working directory of current process]

Specifies folders on disk for resoling relative references within include directives.

`jarFiles`

Jar files to load.

Type	Default
List	[]

Specifies a list of .jar files to load into the host JVM for use by compile, input and output API extensions.

This argument is not supported in the edge runtime flavor.

`quiet`

Disable printing binary version information to the console.

Type	Default
Boolean	false

Disable printing build/version information to the console upon launch.

`disabledArgs`

Limit argument values that can be set by users.

Type	Default
List	[]

specifies a list of launch arguments that are disallowed from either command line or user config files. This argument provides a method of limiting the target pipeline, source and and command line settable by the user.

This mechanism enables pipeline launchers such as the Quarkus launcher to limit user input received via REST requests to a target subset of 'safe' arguments.

For example, adding procOutCommand to this list ensures that no external process outputs can be launched by the runtime.

An optional regex pattern can limit arguments to a certain subset of values in the form of: <arg-name>[:pattern] (e.g., specific process names). Multiple patterns can be specified per argument.

Matching the source argument determines which source locations to inspect (e.g., folders, files, GitHub repos). For example, an admin may place .yaml config files containing preset Fluent Bit outputs in /etc/log10x/, excluding their enclosed arguments from limits set by this list, while disallowing users to directly set them via the command-line or by sourcing them from their local/GitHub config files (see example below).

To limit:

The target pipeline (e.g., run, compile):

  disabledArgs:
  - "pipeline:^run" # disallow compile

Target arguments (e.g., process outputs):

  - "procOutCommand:^fluent-bit$"   # limit to Fluent Bit only
  # - procOutArgs: <specify-regex>  # further limit args for Fluent Bit

Control which argument sources to inspect:

  - "source:^github.*"             # inspect of all arguments sourced from GitHub against this list
  - "source:^(?!/etc/log10x/).*"   # inspect of all arguments sourced from config files NOT contained in: /etc/log10x/

`debugEnvVars`

List environment variables to debug.

Type	Default
List	[]

Specifies a list of env var names for which to log information relating to how they are resolved.

For example, the following call: L1Env.get("myVar", "myDefault") can be resolved from a number of sources ranging from launch arguments, to OS/JVM properties and a default value (e.g., myDefault).

Setting this value to myVar will log INFO level information detailing how the value of the myVar was resolved.

This unit is defined in bootstrap/unit.yaml.

Target arguments (e.g., process outputs):

  - "procOutCommand:^fluent-bit$"   # limit to Fluent Bit only
  # - procOutArgs: <specify-regex>  # further limit args for Fluent Bit

Control which argument sources to inspect:

  - "source:^github.*"             # inspect of all arguments sourced from GitHub against this list
  - "source:^(?!/etc/log10x/).*"   # inspect of all arguments sourced from config files NOT contained in: /etc/log10x/

`debugEnvVars`

List environment variables to debug.

Type	Default
List	[]

Specifies a list of env var names for which to log information relating to how they are resolved.

For example, the following call: L1Env.get("myVar", "myDefault") can be resolved from a number of sources ranging from launch arguments, to OS/JVM properties and a default value (e.g., myDefault).

Setting this value to myVar will log INFO level information detailing how the value of the myVar was resolved.

This unit is defined in bootstrap/unit.yaml.
