New Relic Gatsby Plugin

The New Relic Gatsby Plugin provides a simple to use configuration option for instrumenting your Gatsby site with New Relic's Browser Agent.

Installation

1. If you don't already have a New Relic account, sign-up for our free forever tier - no credit-card required!

2. Go to https://one.newrelic.com

3. Click on "Add more data" to add your website

4. In the "Browser metrics" section, select "New Relic Browser"

5. Select "Copy/Paste Javascript code" and copy the code

6. Follow the steps to configure your instrumentation

7. Enter your app name

8. Click "Enable"

9. Paste the JS snippet provided into a text editor

10. Open your gatsby-config.js file for your project

11. You'll need to copy information from the JS snippet, which looks like this:

    // use this line for the `settings` object
    window.NREUM || (NREUM = {});
    NREUM.init = {
      distributed_tracing: { enabled: true },
      privacy: { cookies_enabled: true },
      ajax: { deny_list: ["bam-cell.nr-data.net"] },
    };
    
    // use these lines for the `config` object
    NREUM.loader_config = {
      accountID: "<your account id>",
      trustKey: "<some integer>",
      agentID: "<some integer>",
      licenseKey: "<your license key>",
      applicationID: "<some integer>",
    };
    NREUM.info = {
      beacon: "bam.nr-data.net",
      errorBeacon: "bam.nr-data.net",
      licenseKey: "<your license key>",
      applicationID: "<some integer>",
      sa: 1,
    };
    

    and turn it into a gatsby-config object, adding it to gatsby-config.js as a plugin

    {
     resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-newrelic',
     options: {
       config: {
           instrumentationType: 'proAndSPA',
           accountId: '<some integer>',
           trustKey: '<some integer>',
           agentID: '<some integer>',
           licenseKey: '<the license key>',
           applicationID: '<some integer>',
           beacon: 'bam.nr-data.net',
           errorBeacon: 'bam.nr-data.net'
           settings: {
             distributed_tracing: { enabled: true },
             privacy: { cookies_enabled: true },
             ajax: { deny_list: ["bam-cell.nr-data.net"] },
           }
       }
     }
    }
    

    If you have a need for multiple environments, you can configure this like:

    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-newrelic',
      options: {
        config: {
            instrumentationType: 'proAndSPA',
            accountId: '<some integer>',
            trustKey: '<some integer>',
            agentID: '<some integer>',
            licenseKey: '<the license key>',
            applicationID: process.env.YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_KEY === "production" ? '<some integer>' : '<some other integer>',
            beacon: 'bam.nr-data.net',
            errorBeacon: 'bam.nr-data.net'
        }
      }
    }
    

    If you have selected custom Session Replay values for block_selector or mask_text_selector, replace the surrounding single quotes(') with back ticks (`)

    {
        settings: {
         session_replay: {
           enabled: true,
         // block_selector: '[autocomplete="cc-number"], [autocomplete="cc-name"]',
           block_selector: `[autocomplete="cc-number"], [autocomplete="cc-name"]`,
         // mask_text_selector: '.className1, #elementID'`,
           mask_text_selector: `.className1, #elementID`,
        }
      }
    }
