Sponsored by Evil Martians

Installation

  1. Install and configure official NewRelic agent for Ruby.

  2. Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'yabeda-newrelic'
    

    And then execute:

    $ bundle
    

Usage

All metrics registered in Yabeda will be sent to NewRelic automatically.

Go to NewRelic Insights → Data Explorer → Metrics to view them.

Caveats

When testing make sure that your NewRelic agent is enabled (NewRelic::Agent.config[:agent_enabled] is true) as it is being automatically disabled in console sessions as example.

Development
