[chef] Re: Newrelic application monitoring

[Nathan Smith < >]

The newrelic (http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/newrelic,
https://github.com/escapestudios/chef-newrelic) has worked well for me for
server monitoring, and it looks like it has a python-agent recipe that
installs the pip package and lets you configure the ini file.

I've really only used the app monitoring with Ruby, and on there it's all
handled in the app's configuration, so sorry I can't be much help there.

Also, I like what I see with the new platform monitoring stuff
(http://newrelic.com/platform), and I've been messing around trying to add
some recipes or LWRPs for that stuff, so if anybody's interested in
helping, let me know.
