Introducing Socket Fix for Safe, Automated Dependency Upgrades
Automatically fix and test dependency updates with socket fix—a new CLI tool that turns CVE alerts into safe, automated upgrades.
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.
Visit Python Application Performance Monitoring with New Relic to learn more.
This package can be installed via pip:
pip install newrelic
(These instructions can also be found online: Python Agent Quick Start.)
Generate the agent configuration file with your license key.
newrelic-admin generate-config $YOUR_LICENSE_KEY newrelic.ini
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-admin
wrapper
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:
NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE=newrelic.ini newrelic-admin run-program $YOUR_COMMAND_OPTIONS
Examples:
NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE=newrelic.ini newrelic-admin run-program gunicorn -c config.py test_site.wsgi
$ NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE=newrelic.ini newrelic-admin run-program uwsgi uwsgi_config.ini
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
.)
import newrelic.agent
newrelic.agent.initialize('/path/to/newrelic.ini')
Start or restart your Python web application or WSGI server.
Done! Check your application in the New Relic UI to see the real time statistics generated from your application.
