NewRelic Tag
Enable newrelic monitor on a host-by-host basis by checking for the presence of an AWS tag. By default, the tag is called 'NewRelic' and the expected setting is 'true'.
Configuration
Add newrelic_tag to your Gemfile.
At the top of newrelic.yml, require the library and configure it.
<%
require 'newrelic_tag'
NewrelicTag.configure do |c|
c.aws_access_key_id = '..key here..'
c.aws_secret_access_key = '..secret here..'
c.tag = 'new-relic'
c.value = 'on'
end
%>
For each environment which should be controlled by tagging, set monitor_mode:
production:
monitor_mode: <%= NewrelicTag.enabled? %>
