# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # This file configures the New Relic Python Agent. # # The path to the configuration file should be supplied to the function # newrelic.agent.initialize() when the agent is being initialized. # # The configuration file follows a structure similar to what you would # find for Microsoft Windows INI files. For further information on the # configuration file format see the Python ConfigParser documentation at: # # http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html # # For further discussion on the behaviour of the Python agent that can # be configured via this configuration file see: # # http://newrelic.com/docs/python/python-agent-configuration # # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Here are the settings that are common to all environments. [newrelic] # You must specify the license key associated with your New # Relic account. This key binds the Python Agent's data to your # account in the New Relic service. # license_key = use NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY environment variable # The appplication name. Set this to be the name of your # application as you would like it to show up in New Relic UI. # The UI will then auto-map instances of your application into a # entry on your home dashboard page. # app_name = use NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME environment variable # When "true", the agent collects performance data about your # application and reports this data to the New Relic UI at # newrelic.com. This global switch is normally overridden for # each environment below. monitor_mode = true # Sets the name of a file to log agent messages to. Useful for # debugging any issues with the agent. This is not set by # default as it is not known in advance what user your web # application processes will run as and where they have # permission to write to. Whatever you set this to you must # ensure that the permissions for the containing directory and # the file itself are correct, and that the user that your web # application runs as can write to the file. If not able to # write out a log file, it is also possible to say "stderr" and # output to standard error output. This would normally result in # output appearing in your web server log. #log_file = /tmp/newrelic-python-agent.log # Sets the level of detail of messages sent to the log file, if # a log file location has been provided. Possible values, in # increasing order of detail, are: "critical", "error", "warning", # "info" and "debug". When reporting any agent issues to New # Relic technical support, the most useful setting for the # support engineers is "debug". However, this can generate a lot # of information very quickly, so it is best not to keep the # agent at this level for longer than it takes to reproduce the # problem you are experiencing. log_level = info # The Python Agent communicates with the New Relic service using # SSL by default. Note that this does result in an increase in # CPU overhead, over and above what would occur for a non SSL # connection, to perform the encryption involved in the SSL # communication. This work is though done in a distinct thread # to those handling your web requests, so it should not impact # response times. You can if you wish revert to using a non SSL # connection, but this will result in information being sent # over a plain socket connection and will not be as secure. ssl = true # High Security Mode enforces certain security settings, and # prevents them from being overridden, so that no sensitive data # is sent to New Relic. Enabling High Security Mode means that # SSL is turned on, request parameters are not collected, and SQL # can not be sent to New Relic in its raw form. To activate High # Security Mode, it must be set to 'true' in this local .ini # configuration file AND be set to 'true' in the server-side # configuration in the New Relic user interface. For details, see # https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/subscriptions/high-security high_security = true # The Python Agent will attempt to connect directly to the New # Relic service. If there is an intermediate firewall between # your host and the New Relic service that requires you to use a # HTTP proxy, then you should set both the "proxy_host" and # "proxy_port" settings to the required values for the HTTP # proxy. The "proxy_user" and "proxy_pass" settings should # additionally be set if proxy authentication is implemented by # the HTTP proxy. The "proxy_scheme" setting dictates what # protocol scheme is used in talking to the HTTP protocol. This # would normally always be set as "http" which will result in the # agent then using a SSL tunnel through the HTTP proxy for end to # end encryption. # proxy_scheme = http # proxy_host = hostname # proxy_port = 8080 # proxy_user = # proxy_pass = # Tells the transaction tracer and error collector (when # enabled) whether or not to capture the query string for the # URL and send it as the request parameters for display in the # UI. When "true", it is still possible to exclude specific # values from being captured using the "ignored_params" setting. capture_params = false # Space separated list of variables that should be removed from # the query string captured for display as the request # parameters in the UI. ignored_params = # The transaction tracer captures deep information about slow # transactions and sends this to the UI on a periodic basis.

Set this to "false" # to turn it off. transaction_tracer.enabled = true # Threshold in seconds for when to collect a transaction trace. # When the response time of a controller action exceeds this # threshold, a transaction trace will be recorded and sent to # the UI. Valid values are any positive float value, or (default) # "apdex_f", which will use the threshold for a dissatisfying # Apdex controller action - four times the Apdex T value. transaction_tracer.transaction_threshold = apdex_f # When the transaction tracer is on, SQL statements can # optionally be recorded. The recorder has three modes, "off" # which sends no SQL, "raw" which sends the SQL statement in its # original form, and "obfuscated", which strips out numeric and # string literals. transaction_tracer.record_sql = obfuscated # Threshold in seconds for when to collect stack trace for a SQL # call. In other words, when SQL statements exceed this # threshold, then capture and send to the UI the current stack # trace. This is helpful for pinpointing where long SQL calls # originate from in an application. transaction_tracer.stack_trace_threshold = 0.5 # Determines whether the agent will capture query plans for slow # SQL queries. Only supported in MySQL and PostgreSQL. Set this # to "false" to turn it off. transaction_tracer.explain_enabled = true # Threshold for query execution time below which query plans # will not not be captured. Relevant only when "explain_enabled" # is true. transaction_tracer.explain_threshold = 0.5 # Space separated list of function or method names in form # 'module:function' or 'module:class.function' for which # additional function timing instrumentation will be added. transaction_tracer.function_trace = # The error collector captures information about uncaught # exceptions or logged exceptions and sends them to UI for # viewing. The error collector is enabled by default. Set this # to "false" to turn it off. error_collector.enabled = true # To stop specific errors from reporting to the UI, set this to # a space separated list of the Python exception type names to # ignore.
