newRHELic

A Red Hat Enteprise Linux plugin for New Relic

While it's not tested, it should also work with the RHEL-derived projects like

• CentOS
• Scientific Linux
• Oracle Enterprise Linux

Monitoring Highlights

• Per-CPU utilization
• Network Errors and Dropped packets
• Swap Statistics
• Detailed CPU State Times

Installation

• RPM

  • Dowload the source and execute:

  python setup.py sdist_rpm
  cd dist/
  rpm -ivh <RPM You Just Made>.rpm / yum install <RPM You Just Made>.rpm
  

  *Obviously you only have to use rpm OR yum (not both), and you only have to make the RPM for each architecture you're using.

• Source Distribution

  • Download the source and execute:

  python setup.py sdist
  cd dist/
  tar zxf <The Tarball>
  cd <The Directory you just unzipped>
  python setup.py install
  

  • Obviously you can move that tarball around after creating it once.
