## New Relic's Open Source Elixir Agent



[![Version](https://img.shields.io/github/tag/newrelic/elixir_agent.svg)](https://github.com/newrelic/elixir_agent/releases)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/newrelic/elixir_agent.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/newrelic/elixir_agent)

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202-blue.svg)](https://github.com/newrelic/elixir_agent/blob/master/LICENSE)



The Open-Source Elixir Agent allows you to monitor your `Elixir` applications with New Relic. It helps you track transactions, distributed traces and other parts of your application's behavior and provides an overview of underlying BEAM activity.



## Support Statement:



New Relic has open-sourced this project to enable monitoring of `Elixir` applications. This project is provided AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OR SUPPORT, although you can report issues and contribute to the project here on GitHub.



## Installation



Requirements:

* Elixir `1.7`



```elixir

defp deps do

  [

    {:new_relic_agent, "~> 1.0"},

  ]

end

```



## Configuration



You need to set a few required configuration keys so we can authenticate properly.



#### Via Application config



```elixir

config :new_relic_agent,

  app_name: "My App",

  license_key: "license_key"

```



#### Via Environment variables



You can also configure these attributes via `ENV` vars, which helps keep secrets out of source code.



* `NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME`

* `NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY`





#### Logging



The agent will log important events. By default they will go to `tmp/new_relic.log`. You can also configure it to go to `STDOUT` or any other writable file location:



```elixir

config :new_relic_agent,

  log: "stdout"

```
