Currently the data -being reported is: - -- Time spent for Web Transactions: Also known as `HttpDispatcher` time, represents the total time taken to process a web -transaction, from the moment the `HttpRequest` is received by spray-can, to the moment the answer is sent to the IO layer. -- Apdex -- Errors - -Differentiation between JVM and External Services is coming soon, as well as actor metrics and detailed traces. - - - -Installation -------------- - -To use the Newrelic module just make sure you put the `kamon-newrelic` and `kamon-spray` libraries in your classpath and -start your application with both, the Aspectj Weaver and Newrelic agents. Please refer to our [get started](/get-started) page -for more info on how to add the AspectJ Weaver and the [Newrelic Agent Installations Instructions](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/java/new-relic-for-java#h2-installation). - - -Configuration -------------- - -Currently you will need to add a few settings to your `application.conf` file for the module to work: - -```scala -akka { - // Custom logger for NewRelic that takes all the `Error` events from the event stream and publish them to NewRelic - loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger", "kamon.newrelic.NewRelicErrorLogger"] - // Make sure the NewRelic extension is loaded with the ActorSystem - extensions = ["kamon.newrelic.NewRelic"] -} - -kamon { - newrelic { - // These values must match the values present in your newrelic.yml file. - app-name = "KamonNewRelicExample[Development]" - license-key = 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789 - } -} -``` - - -Let's see it in Action! ------------------------ - -Let's create a very simple Spray application to show what you should expect from this module.
