Server Monitoring

Hey folks,

This is unrelated to ColdBox, but more because there are a bunch of smart folks on the list… :wink:

Has anyone tried running New Relic monitoring? http://newrelic.com/ I tried getting the java agent running on a Windows box with CF multiserver and couldn’t get it to work. Hoping someone on the list has maybe tried as well.

New Relic looks pretty sweet.

Cheers,

Nolan

Nolan,

I never had heard of them, but it seemed really cool so tried it out. I got up and running in about 5 minutes. really really cool. I am now monitoring my dev server with it. Where did you get stuck?

I haven’t tried NewRelic with CF, but it works like a dream on my PHP server. Fantastic company with great customer service. I would imagine they would provide assistance to get it up and running under CF.

Cool! I got stuck configuring the Jvm arguments. Can you send me your config?

Very easy. I dropped the “newrelic” folder inside the root of “jrun4” if multi-instance, or inside the “runtime” folder in standalone CF. Then add this to your JVM.config

-javaagent:{application.home}/newrelic/newrelic.jar

The {application.home} points to the “runtime” folder in standalone mode, and the root in multi-instance mode.

That’s it. Just tweak your yml for your settings and you are ready in CF. Next, my railo install on resin.

I believe Rackspace Cloud customers get some cool New Relic services for free.
