New Relic Rust Bindings

The New Relic SDK only works on linux. There is a mock New Relic API for non-linux that always works. This was done to allow people to work on the code without requiring Linux.

Library Installation

The library is expected to be installed at /usr/local/nr_agent_sdk. In addition, ld needs to be configured via (ldconfig) to search for the New Relic libraries. The following will install and setup ld correctly:

curl -sO http://download.newrelic.com/agent_sdk/nr_agent_sdk-v0.16.2.0-beta.x86_64.tar.gz && \
  tar -xzf nr_agent_sdk-v0.16.2.0-beta.x86_64.tar.gz && \
  mv nr_agent_sdk-v0.16.2.0-beta.x86_64 /usr/local/nr_agent_sdk && \
  echo "/usr/local/nr_agent_sdk/lib/" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/newrelic.conf

Debugging

If you are debugging the New Relic SDK, then you are strongly encouraged to enable logging. In the Docker container, copy the /usr/local/nr_agent_sdk/config/log4cplus.properties file to $HOME/.newlic. Then modify the $HOME/.newrelic/log4cplus.properties file to change the log level from info to all (there are two places that need to be changed).
