Application monitoring with New Relic

New Relic is an application performance monitoring tool (amongst other things).

To use with ArchivesSpace you must:

• Signup for an account at newrelic (there is a free tier and paid plans)
• Edit config.rb to:
  • activate the newrelic plugin
  • add the New Relic license key
  • add an application name to identify the ArchivesSpace instance in the New Relic dashboard

For example, in config.rb:

``` ## You may have other plugins AppConfig[:plugins] = [‘local’, ‘newrelic’]

AppConfig[:newrelic_key] = “enteryourkeyhere” AppConfig[:newrelic_app_name] = “ArchivesSpace” ```

• Install the New Relic agent library by initializing the plugin: ``` ## For Linux/OSX $ scripts/initialize-plugin.sh newrelic

  ## For Windows % scripts\initialize-plugin.bat newrelic ```

• Start, or restart ArchivesSpace to pick up the configuration.

Within a few minutes the application should be visible in the New Relic dashboard with data being collected.
