This is a re-implementation of the official NGiNX New Relic plugin in Go so that it compiles down to a static binary with no Python runtime required. It only grabs the stats that are including the http-stub-status module and does not add all the stats available from NGiNX Plus.
Aside from being just a static binary, it's also a 12-factor app which is good for running in containers:
- All configuration is from environment variables
- Logging is to stdout
On startup the plugin prints its configuration to the log so you can see how it ran.
AGENT_NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME="NGiNX Gateway Foo" \
AGENT_STATS_URL=http://localhost:32768/health \
AGENT_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY="<your license key here>" \
./nginx-nr-agent
You can also change the New Relic API URL used like this:
AGENT_NEW_RELIC_API_URL="<your url here>"
Generally this is not a setting you'll need to change.
