Instance Method Details

#add_request_headers(request) ⇒ Object

This method adds New Relic request headers to a given request made to an external API and checks to see if a host header is used for the request. If a host header is used, it updates the segment name to match the host header.

object (must belong to a subclass of NewRelic::Agent::HTTPClients::AbstractRequest)

Parameters:

  • request (NewRelic::Agent::HTTPClients::AbstractRequest) —

    the request

#get_request_metadata ⇒ String

Obtain an obfuscated String suitable for delivery across public networks that identifies this application and transaction to another application which is also running a New Relic agent. This String can be processed by process_request_metadata on the receiving application.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    obfuscated request metadata to send

#process_response_metadata(response_metadata) ⇒ Object

Process obfuscated String sent from a called application that is also running a New Relic agent and save information in current transaction for inclusion in a trace. This String is generated by get_response_metadata on the receiving application.

Parameters:

  • response_metadata (String) —

    received obfuscated response metadata

#read_response_headers(response) ⇒ Object

This method extracts app data from an external response if present. If a valid cross-app ID is found, the name of the segment is updated to reflect the cross-process ID and transaction name.

Parameters:

  • response (Hash) —

    a hash of response headers
