Instance Method Details

#add_custom_attributes(params) ⇒ Object

Add attributes to the transaction trace, Insights Transaction event, and any traced errors recorded for the current transaction.

If Browser Monitoring is enabled, and the browser_monitoring.attributes.enabled configuration setting is true, these custom attributes will also be present in the script injected into the response body, making them available on Insights PageView events.

Parameters:

  • params (Hash) —

    A Hash of attributes to be attached to the transaction event. Keys should be strings or symbols, and values may be strings, symbols, numeric values or booleans.

    end
  else
    ::NewRelic::Agent.logger.warn("Bad argument passed to #add_custom_attributes. Expected Hash but got #{params.class}")
  end
end

#add_custom_log_attributes(params) ⇒ Object

Add global custom attributes to log events for the current agent instance. As these attributes are global to the agent instance, they will be attached to all log events generated by the agent, and this methods usage isn’t suitable for setting dynamic values.

Parameters:

  • params (Hash) —

    A Hash of attributes to attach to log events. The agent accepts up to 240 custom log event attributes.

    Keys will be coerced into Strings and must be less than 256 characters. Keys longer than 255 characters will be truncated.

    Values may be Strings, Symbols, numeric values or Booleans and must be less than 4095 characters. If the value is a String or a Symbol, values longer than 4094 characters will be truncated. If the value exceeds 4094 characters and is of a different class, the attribute pair will be dropped.

    This API can be called multiple times. If the same key is passed more than once, the value associated with the last call will be preserved.

    Attribute pairs with empty or nil contents will be dropped.

  end
end

#add_custom_span_attributes(params) ⇒ Object

Add custom attributes to the span event for the current span. Attributes will be visible on spans in the New Relic Distributed Tracing UI and on span events in New Relic Insights.

Custom attributes will not be transmitted when high_security setting is enabled or custom_attributes setting is disabled.

Parameters:

  • params (Hash) —

    A Hash of attributes to be attached to the span event. Keys should be strings or symbols, and values may be strings, symbols, numeric values or booleans.

#add_instrumentation(file_pattern) ⇒ Object

Add instrumentation files to the agent. The argument should be a glob matching ruby scripts which will be executed at the time instrumentation is loaded. Since instrumentation is not loaded when the agent is not running it’s better to use this method to register instrumentation than just loading the files directly, although that probably also works.

#add_or_defer_method_tracer(receiver, method_name, metric_name, options) ⇒ Object

    end
  end
end

#after_fork(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Register this method as a callback for processes that fork jobs.

If the master/parent connects to the agent prior to forking the agent in the forked process will use that agent_run. Otherwise the forked process will establish a new connection with the server.

Use this especially when you fork the process to run background jobs or other work. If you are doing this with a web dispatcher that forks worker processes then you will need to force the agent to reconnect, which it won’t do by default. Passenger and Unicorn are already handled, nothing special needed for them.

Options:

  • :force_reconnect => true to force the spawned process to establish a new connection, such as when forking a long running process. The default is false–it will only connect to the server if the parent had not connected.

  • :keep_retrying => false if we try to initiate a new connection, this tells me to only try it once so this method returns quickly if there is some kind of latency with the server.

#browser_timing_header(nonce = nil) ⇒ Object

This method returns a string suitable for inclusion in a page - known as ‘manual instrumentation’ for Real User Monitoring. Can return either a script tag with associated javascript, or in the case of disabled Real User Monitoring, an empty string

This is the header string - it should be placed as high in the page as is reasonably possible - that is, before any style or javascript inclusions, but after any header-related meta tags

In previous agents there was a corresponding footer required, but all the work is now done by this single method.

Parameters:

  • nonce (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The nonce to use in the javascript tag for browser instrumentation

#manual_start(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Call this to manually start the agent in situations where the agent does not auto-start.

When the app environment loads, so does the agent. However, the agent will only connect to the service if a web front-end is found. If you want to selectively monitor ruby processes that don’t use web plugins, then call this method in your code and the agent will fire up and start reporting to the service.

Options are passed in as overrides for values in the newrelic.yml, such as app_name. In addition, the option log will take a logger that will be used instead of the standard file logger. The setting for the newrelic.yml section to use (ie, RAILS_ENV) can be overridden with an :env argument.

end

#notice_error(exception, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Send an error to New Relic.

Any option keys other than the ones listed here are treated as :custom_params.

Note: Previous versions of the agent allowed passing :request_params, but those are now ignored. If you need to record the request parameters, call this method inside a transaction or pass the information in :custom_params.

Most of the time, you do not need to specify the :uri or :metric options; only pass them if you are calling notice_error outside a transaction.

Parameters:

  • exception (Exception) —

    Error you wish to send

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Modify how New Relic processes the error

Options Hash (options):

  • :custom_params (Hash) —

    Custom parameters to attach to the trace

  • :expected (Boolean) —

    Only record the error trace (do not affect error rate or Apdex status)

  • :uri (String) —

    Request path, minus request params or query string (usually not needed)

  • :metric (String) —

    Metric name associated with the transaction (usually not needed)

end

#record_custom_event(event_type, event_attrs) ⇒ Object

Record a custom event to be sent to New Relic Insights. The recorded event will be buffered in memory until the next time the agent sends data to New Relic’s servers.

If you want to be able to tie the information recorded via this call back to the web request or background job that it happened in, you may want to instead use the add_custom_attributes API call to attach attributes to the Transaction event that will automatically be generated for the request.

A timestamp will be automatically added to the recorded event when this method is called.

Parameters:

  • event_type (Symbol or String) —

    The name of the event type to record. Event types must consist of only alphanumeric characters, ‘_’, ‘:’, or ‘ ’.

  • event_attrs (Hash) —

    A Hash of attributes to be attached to the event. Keys should be strings or symbols, and values may be strings, symbols, numeric values or booleans.

#record_metric(metric_name, value) ⇒ Object

Record a value for the given metric name.

This method should be used to record event-based metrics such as method calls that are associated with a specific duration or magnitude.

metric_name should follow a slash separated path convention. Application specific metrics should begin with “Custom/”.

value should be either a single Numeric value representing the duration/ magnitude of the event being recorded, or a Hash containing :count, :total, :min, :max, and :sum_of_squares keys. The latter form is useful for recording pre-aggregated metrics collected externally.

This method is safe to use from any thread.

#set_error_group_callback(callback_proc) ⇒ Object

Set a callback proc for determining an error’s error group name

Typically this method should be called only once to set a callback for use with all noticed errors. If it is called multiple times, each new callback given will replace the old one.

The proc will be called with a single hash as its input argument and is expected to return a string representing the desired error group.

see docs.newrelic.com/docs/errors-inbox/errors-inbox/#groups

The hash passed to the customer defined callback proc has the following keys:

:error => The Ruby error class instance, likely inheriting from

StandardError. Call `#class`, `#message`, and `#backtrace` on
the error object to retrieve the error's class, message, and
backtrace.

:customAttributes => Any customer defined custom attributes that have been

associated with the current transaction.

:‘request.uri’ => The current request URI if available :‘http.statusCode’ => The HTTP status code (200, 404, etc.) if available :‘http.method’ => The HTTP method (GET, PUT, etc.) if available :‘error.expected’ => Whether (true) or not (false) the error was expected :options => The options hash passed to ‘NewRelic::Agent.notice_error`

Parameters:

  • callback_proc (Proc) —

    the callback proc

#set_sql_obfuscator(type = :replace, &block) ⇒ Object

#set_transaction_name(name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Set the name of the current running transaction. The agent will apply a reasonable default based on framework routing, but in cases where this is insufficient, this can be used to manually control the name of the transaction.

The category of transaction can be specified via the :category option. The following are the only valid categories:

  • :category => :controller indicates that this is a controller action and will appear with all the other actions.

  • :category => :task indicates that this is a background task and will show up in New Relic with other background tasks instead of in the controllers list

  • :category => :middleware if you are instrumenting a rack middleware call. The :name is optional, useful if you have more than one potential transaction in the #call.

  • :category => :uri indicates that this is a web transaction whose name is a normalized URI, where ‘normalized’ means the URI does not have any elements with data in them such as in many REST URIs.

The default category is the same as the running transaction.
