This cookbook includes an LWRP for generating the newrelic.yml configuration file in a specific path, which can be used to generate multiple configurations when deploying multiple different applications

newrelic_yml

Actions

  • :generate - Generate the newrelic.yml config file (unique and default action)

Example usage - Java agent

  1. Install the Java Agent: add the newrelic::java_agent recipe to your run list. A newrelic.yml will be generated but not linked to anything.
  2. In your application cookbook, generate the newrelic.yml for this application:
yml_path = "#{my_app_path}/newrelic.yml"
newrelic_yml yml_path do
  app_name 'my-super-duper-application'
  agent_type 'java'
end
  1. Configure your app for newrelic using your config file and newrelic.jar:
 java -Dnewrelic.config.file=#{newrelicyml}  -javaagent:#{node['newrelic']['install_dir']}/newrelic.jar [rest of your args]

Usage

  1. include recipe[newrelic] in a run list to implicly run recipe[newrelic::server_monitor_agent] --- OR --- include the bits and pieces explicitly in a run list: ruby `recipe[newrelic::repository]` `recipe[newrelic::server_monitor_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::dotnet_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::java_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::nodejs_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::php_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::python_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::ruby_agent]` `recipe[newrelic::infrastructure_agent]`
  2. change the node['newrelic']['license'] attribute to your New Relic license keys --- OR --- override the attributes on a higher level
