Resources / Providers

This cookbook includes an LWRP for notifying New Relic of a deployment

newrelic_deployment
Actions Attribute parameters Example(s) 
elic_deployment "my-application" do
api_key "abcdef"
#app_name "my-application"
app_id 1234567
description "some description"
revision "some revision"
changelog "some changelog"
user "chef-client"
action :notify

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
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:
elicyml="#{my_app_path}/newrelic.yml"
elic_yml newrelicyml do
ent_type 'java'
p_name 'my-super-duper-application'
  1. Configure your app for newrelic using your config file and newrelic.jar:
a -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:repository] and recipe[newrelic::server-monitor-agent] — OR — include the bits and pieces explicitly in a run list:

ipe[newrelic::repository]`
ipe[newrelic::server-monitor-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::dotnet-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::java-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::meetme-plugin]`
ipe[newrelic::nodejs-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::php-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::python-agent]`
ipe[newrelic::ruby-agent]`

2) change the node['newrelic']['license'] attribute to your New Relic license keys — OR — override the attributes on a higher level (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Attributes#Attributes-AttributesPrecedence)
