An experimental plugin to allow New Relic's NodeJS Agent to work with webpack compiled server side javascript.
This project is an experimental plugin that allows New Relic's NodeJS Agent to work with webpack compiled server side javascript. This plugin does not automatically instrument any frontend javascript frameworks -- please see New Relic's browser agent documentation for more information on monitoring frontend javascript frameworks.
We distribute this plugin via NPM. To add it to your project, just run
$ npm install @newrelic/webpack-plugin
One installed, to get started add an externals
and plugins
section to your webpack configuration that looks something like this
/*...*/
const nodeExternals = require('@newrelic/webpack-plugin/lib/externals')
const NewrelicWebpackPlugin = require('@newrelic/webpack-plugin/lib/NewrelicWebpackPlugin')
module.exports = {
/* ... */
externals: [nodeExternals()],
plugins: [
new NewrelicWebpackPlugin()
]
/* ... */
}
In order to use Newrelic's NodeJS agent with webpack, you'll need to
require('newrelic')
to the top of your generated sources.This package allows you to do both. The nodeExternals
function
const nodeExternals = require('newrelic-webpack-plugin/lib/externals')
/* ... */
module.exports = {
/* ... */
externals: [nodeExternals()],
/* ... */
}
is borrowed from webpack-node-externals, which is the de-facto standard way to use webpack with NodeJS server side projects. If a module the agent instruments is not listed as a webpack external, the agent will not function properly.
The NewrelicWebpackPlugin
const NewrelicWebpackPlugin = require('newrelic-webpack-plugin/lib/NewrelicWebpackPlugin')
module.exports = {
/* ... */
plugins: [
new NewrelicWebpackPlugin()
]
/* ... */
}
ensures that a require('newrelic')
statment is added to the top of any .js
asset file generated by webpack.
You can run tests for this repository via npm
$ npm run test
