Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

MeetMe plugin

To make sure the cookbook is focussed on getting New Relic server and application monitoring, no plugin logic is provided here.
The New Relic MeetMe plugin-logic is still available, in a separate cookbook: (newrelic_meetme_plugin)[https://github.com/escapestudios-cookbooks/newrelic_meetme_plugin].

Resources / Providers

This cookbook includes an LWRP for notifying New Relic of a deployment

newrelic_deployment

Actions

  • :notify: Notify New Relic of a deployment

Attribute parameters

  • api_key: Your New Relic API key
  • app_name: The name of the application, found in the newrelic.yml file
  • app_id: The ID # of the application
  • description: Text annotation for the deployment (notes for you)
  • revision: The revision number from your source control system (SVN, git, etc.)
  • changelog: A list of changes for this deployment
  • user: The name of the user/process that triggered this deployment

Example(s)

newrelic_deployment "my-application" do
    api_key "abcdef"
    #app_name "my-application"
    app_id 1234567
    description "some description"
    revision "some revision"
    changelog "some changelog"
    user "chef-client"
    action :notify
end

This cookbook includes an LWRP for generating the newrelic.yml configuration file in a specific path, which can be used to generate multiple configurations when deploying multiple different applications

newrelic_yml

Actions

  • :generate - Generate the newrelic.yml config file (unique and default action)

Example usage - Java agent

  1. Install the Java Agent: add the newrelic::java_agent recipe to your run list. A newrelic.yml will be generated but not linked to anything.
  2. In your application cookbook, generate the newrelic.yml for this application:
newrelicyml="#{my_app_path}/newrelic.yml"
newrelic_yml newrelicyml do
  agent_type 'java'
  app_name 'my-super-duper-application'
end
  1. Configure your app for newrelic using your config file and newrelic.jar:
 java -Dnewrelic.config.file=#{newrelicyml}  -javaagent:#{node['newrelic']['install_dir']}/newrelic.jar [rest of your args]

Usage

  1. include recipe[newrelic] in a run list to implicly run recipe[newrelic::server_monitor_agent]
    --- OR ---
    include the bits and pieces explicitly in a run list:
    ruby
    `recipe[newrelic::repository]`
    `recipe[newrelic::server_monitor_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::dotnet_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::java_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::nodejs_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::php_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::python_agent]`
    `recipe[newrelic::ruby_agent]`

  2. change the node['newrelic']['license'] attribute to your New Relic license keys
    --- OR ---
    override the attributes on a higher level (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Attributes#Attributes-AttributesPrecedence)

newrelic cookbook CHANGELOG

This file is used to list changes made in each version (> 2.0.0) of the newrelic cookbook.

v2.0.0 (2014-07-02)

  • Refactoring: separation of New Relic MeetMe plugin logic into separate cookbook: https://github.com/escapestudios-cookbooks/newrelic_meetme_plugin
  • Refactoring: "use snake_case for source file names" + RuboCop FileName-check
  • Don't rely on this cookbook to get the specific agent's application set up; state that particular logic in a run list instead
  • Addition of CHANGELOG.md
