Not sure how it's done in the python world.

But in the Ruby world, the NewRelic app monitoring is simply added as any other application gem (library). So it's available in dev with a useful dev mode. And it's automatically installed upon deployment by Bundler.

Is there something similar in the Python world?

And you're right, server monitoring is a breeze to install. And very useful.

Hi --

Anyone have experience adding newrelic?

I'm adding newrelic monitoring to an application that uses
django/gunicorn/supervisor.
First, I notice that there are three opscode newrelic cookbooks:
newrelic_monitoring
newrelic-ng
newrelic

It looks like the newrelic-ng is the only one that includes application,
as opposed to system, monitoring.  Is that correct?
Also, it looks like it doesn't automatically setup monitoring.  I think
you still have to modify the supervisor template in order to run the
newrelic wrapper script.
That doesn't look to hard, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel if
someone else has already done this.
An example would be useful.

I'm also going to add the newrelic server monitoring, but that looks
simple since it's relatively independent.

Thanks!
Liam
