Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

New Relic Chef Cookbook

newrelic-install is a Chef cookbook that will help you scale your New Relic Observability efforts. It uses the New Relic CLI and New Relic Open Installation repository to achieve this.

Currently, we have included Linux and Windows support for New Relic's Infrastructure and Logs integrations, with more agents and integrations following in the near future.

Note: Installing specific versions of an agent is not supported, this cookbook will always install latest released version of a New Relic agent.
