The New Relic Ruby agent monitors your applications to help you identify and solve performance issues. You can also extend the agent's performance monitoring to collect and analyze business data to help you improve the customer experience and make data-driven business decisions.
The New Relic Ruby agent is dual-purposed as either a Gem or a Rails plugin, hosted on GitHub.
This code is actively maintained by New Relic engineering teams and delivered here in GitHub. See below for troubleshooting and defect reporting instructions.
An up-to-date list of Ruby versions and frameworks for the latest agent can be found on our docs site.
You can also monitor non-web applications. Refer to the "Other Environments" section below.
The latest released gem for the Ruby agent can be found at RubyGems.org
For using with Bundler, add the Ruby agent to your project's Gemfile.
gem 'newrelic_rpm'
and run bundle install to activate the new gem.
If you are not using Bundler, install the gem with:
gem install newrelic_rpm
and then require the New Relic Ruby agent in your Ruby start-up sequence:
require 'newrelic_rpm'
Assuming you have installed the agent per above, you may also need to tell the Ruby agent to start for some frameworks and non-framework environments. To do so, add the following to your Ruby start-up sequence start the agent:
NewRelic::Agent.manual_start
