NewRelicAddons

Builds on top of New Relic's Open Source Elixir Agent to provide Ecto support and decorators.

Features

• NewRelicAddons.Ecto - provides Ecto introspection with best database monitoring solution that's possible with current API of the NewRelic library

• NewRelicAddons.Decorators - provides stackable function decoration solution based on battle-proven Decorator library, with sane defaults and more configurability

Example

Sample Phoenix + Ecto application may be found in examples/new_relic_sandbox_umbrella.

Check out its README.md for more information.

Notes

This library uses private APIs of NewRelic library, i.e. it calls modules without @moduledoc. It also includes a set of overrides built on top of NewRelic library in NewRelicAddons.Reporting module. It's considered a minimal set needed for implementing functionalities that we were chasing after, but still - that's not great.

This means that all updates of base :new_relic_agent package, even between patch versions, should be thoroughly reviewed for breaking changes within functions that are called or overridden.

The long-term plan is to fill an issue in agent's repo and count on its API getting extended and refined so that in the future we'd only need to rely on public APIs without sacrificing key NR integration perks.
