Tools: Heka Insights Agent Update: Architecture + Configuration Docs Now Reflect Runtime Behavior
Build Update (April 16, 2026)
What I updated
Architecture documentation improvements
Configuration documentation improvements
Important behavior clarified
Why this matters
Next steps This week I focused on documentation quality and operational clarity for heka-insights-agent. The goal was simple: make docs match the code exactly, so contributors and operators can reason about behavior without reading every module first. docs/architecture.md now documents: This gives a real “as-implemented” architecture baseline instead of aspirational text. docs/configuration.md now includes exact behavior for the two active runtime settings: Current config loading is split across two env files: That split is now explicitly documented to reduce startup/debug confusion. For an agent project, docs are part of reliability.
Operators need to know what can fail at startup, where config is read from, and what telemetry shape to expect downstream. This update makes onboarding and future refactors safer.
