[Heroku][Rails] NewRelic - Web Application Performance Measurement and Operations Monitoring
Tadashi Shigeoka · Fri, November 18, 2011
I tried using NewRelic, which provides web application performance measurement and operations monitoring, in a Rails + Heroku environment.
NewRelic can be used not only with Heroku, but also as a monitoring tool for regular web services.
Using NewRelic with Heroku
Add the NewRelic standard edition (free) using the heroku command.
$ heroku addons:add newrelic:standard
After adding the NewRelic addon, I configured settings from My preferences in the top right.
- Time zone：(GMT+09:00) Tokyo
email settings
- Weekly performance summary
- Alert notifications
That’s all from the Gemba about trying out NewRelic for web application performance measurement and operations monitoring in a Rails + Heroku environment.
