Integrate New Relic agents into shipper #139

Closed mrdavidlaing closed 11 years ago

mrdavidlaing commented 11 years ago

The New Relic agents should be installed along with the shipper

mrdavidlaing commented 11 years ago

I've manually installed the Windows Server Agent and the Java Agent on the current PPE shipper - LON-WS00214

mrdavidlaing commented 11 years ago

The Java Agent basically only gives information about the JVM that LogStash is running in.

The Windows Server Agent gives info about all the services running on the windows machine.

Bundling the agent with the shipper is easy. Bundling the Server agent is not.

My question is, do we need both, or is just having the agent sufficient?

The JVM insight is certainly quite helpful already, though the already encountered automatic app server handling implies that we do not receive very much performance information from those boxes like so.

https://github.com/cityindex/logsearch-on-aws/issues/10 yields the decision to always integrate the Java agent by default via #124, but handle the more complex server agent installation separately via #142 once there's more pressing need for this to be in place (which might be the case once the number of shippers/environments increases).

Closed as Won't Fix due to agent monitoring being handled differently meanwhile.
