The newrelic package instruments your application for performance
monitoring and advanced performance analytics with New
Relic.
Pinpoint and solve Python application performance issues down to the
line of code. New Relic
APM is the only tool
you'll need to see everything in your Python application, from the end
user experience to server monitoring. Trace problems down to slow
database queries, slow 3rd party APIs and web services, caching layers,
and more. Monitor your app in a production environment and make sure
your app can stand a big spike in traffic by running scalability
reports.
Validate the agent configuration and test the connection to our data
collector service.
newrelic-admin validate-config newrelic.ini
Integrate the agent with your web application.
If you control how your web application or WSGI server is started,
the recommended way to integrate the agent is to use the
newrelic-adminwrapper
script.
Modify the existing startup script, prefixing the existing startup
command and options with newrelic-admin run-program.
Also, set the [NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE]{.title-ref} environment
variable to the name of the configuration file you created above:
Alternatively, you can also manually integrate the
agent
by adding the following lines at the very top of your python WSGI
script file. (This is useful if you're using mod_wsgi.)
New Relic offers NRDiag, a client-side diagnostic
utility
that automatically detects common problems with New Relic agents. If
NRDiag detects a problem, it suggests troubleshooting steps. NRDiag can
also automatically attach troubleshooting data to a New Relic Support
ticket.
If the issue has been confirmed as a bug or is a Feature request, please
file a Github issue.
