newrelic_redis_plugin

New Relic plugin for Redis in Ruby.

Unlike other plugins, it's simple and dedicated for Redis. Most of the statistics are available and built to run as a daemon with PID file and logging.

Spec

Tested with:

• Ruby 2.0.0
• Gem: dante 0.2.0

Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Extract to the location you want to run the agent from
3. Copy config/template_newrelic_plugin.yml to config/newrelic_plugin.yml
4. Edit config/newrelic_plugin.yml and replace "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE" with your New Relic license key

Usage

Simply do ./newrelic_redis_agent to run in the foreground. Other command line options are:

• -d – Run as daemon
• -c FILE – Designate a config file

Config Options

Few configuration options are available in config/newrelic_plugin.yml.

• instance_name – Name of the instance that will be listed in New Relic; default: "HOSTNAME:PORT"
• url – Your Redis server; use "redis://127.0.0.1:6379" as default
• database – the database in which to lookup 'total keys'; use "db0" as default
