Fixes #102

[rfay]

I unfortunately tried this on a Drupal 9 project, so when I switched to PHP7.3 it failed. But then I tried on a D8 project, finally found some data that I didn't know how to use on Dashboards->Browser

[mglaman]

Thanks for the review @rfay, I've got this on my list to update

[rfay]

Looking forward to seeing this get in @mglaman - thanks for the contribution!

[rfay]

I'm sure this will be useful to people, so hope you can return to it.

[rfay]

@mglaman you have lots to do, but please push this up to the top of your priority list and get it finished, thanks!

[rfay]

It's been more than a year @mglaman - maybe you can fit this in with your 20% if you get it!

[jeremysimmons]

@mglaman I would love to see this finished!

Het @mglaman, I know it's been a long time, maybe you can help us on how to configure this service, thank you very much in advance

Hello everyone, I have an example that is working decently, I'm not sure if it's the recommended way to do it. I have tried to follow the comments left by @rfay . I'm not an expert in Docker, so if you see any improvements, feel free to add them, and perhaps this recipe can become available.

docker-compose.newrelic.yaml

version: '3.6'
services:
  newrelic:
    image: newrelic/php-daemon
    container_name: ddev-${DDEV_SITENAME}-newrelic

    labels:
      com.ddev.site-name: ${DDEV_SITENAME}
      com.ddev.approot: $DDEV_APPROOT

RUN wget -O - https://download.newrelic.com/548C16BF.gpg | apt-key add - && \
    sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.newrelic.com/debian/ newrelic non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/newrelic.list' && \
    apt-get update

RUN apt-get update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install newrelic-php5

Run ddev restart, browse your ddev site to generate some data. Go to newrelic page, find APM & Services.

@Gonzalo2683 you're doing great! Could you please create an add-on that implements this? It's super easy, and that's the maintainable way to handle these recipes.

• https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/extend/additional-services/#creating-an-additional-service-for-ddev-get
• https://github.com/ddev/ddev-addon-template

I'm sure that after you do that (use a good README) then @tyler36 and I will be happy to try it out and offer suggestions/issues/PRs to your repo.

Is there a way to run this on Apple M2 ARM64? Any installation guide or commands would helpful, thanks.

[rfay]

It looks like newrelic does not provide an arm64 image, https://hub.docker.com/r/newrelic/php-daemon/tags, even 3+ years after arm64 has arrived.
