New Relic for Spring Boot

问题

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

回答1:

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
