Recently, we convert a tomcat/spring app to spring boot. Everything is working fine apart from new relic. Is there a way I can easily config new relic with spring boot project. I don't want to hard code the location of new relic agent jar path, then run the spring boot project with the path.
edit: Spring boot project is with maven
You can include NewRelic Maven dependency and use maven-dependency-plugin to unpack in into your target/classes directory, which allows Maven to include it into final Jar file. Then you have to add Premain-Class attribute into manifest file and you can use your application jar as -javaagent source. You can find details on my blog post
Step by step instructions
- Extract the files from the newrelic java agent archive.
- Create a directory named newrelic in the root of your application.
- Place the newrelic.jar from the archive in the above created newrelic folder
- Place the newrelic.yml YAML config file in the above created newrelic folder.
- Update the values in newrelic.yml as below.
- license_key: 'your license key'
- app_name: ‘Your application name’
- Run you application by using the option javaagent
- java -javaagent:newrelic\newrelic.jar -jar yourapplication.jar
-javaagent option needs to be before the -jar so the agent can start
