New Relic Netlify Plugin 
Monitor your Netlify build process and Jamstack application performance with New Relic, without the need for lengthy manual set up.
The New Relic Netlify Plugin:
- Notifies New Relic on Netlify build events including: Pre Build, Post Build, Sucess, and Failure.
- Installs the browser agent across your static pages
- Adds a release version to each deployment for easier monitoring and debugging
Installation
For detailed installation instructions see "Jumpstart your Jamstack monitoring with the New Relic Netlify plugin and quickstart"
UI Installation
UI installation is the quickest way to start using the plugin, and does not require any modifications to your project's code.
- Navigate to the Netlify plugin directory, search for New Relic, and select install and then choose which of your Netlify sites will use the plugin
- Go to your site settings > build and deploy > environment and set the following environment variables:
- NEWRELIC_ACCOUNT_ID: Your New Relic Account ID
- NEWRELIC_INGEST_LICENSE_KEY: A New Relic ingest license key
- NEWRELIC_BROWSER_LICENSE_KEY: A New Relic browser ingest license key
- NEWRELIC_APP_ID: Your New Relic Browser App ID
- ENABLE_BROWSER_MONITORING: Set this to true
File-based Installation
Alternatively, to install with file-based installation, add the following lines to your netlify.toml files:
package = "@newrelic/netlify-plugin"
[plugins.inputs]
newrelicAccountId = "123456"
newrelicLicenseKey = "12345678901234567890"
newrelicBrowserLicenseKey = "ABCD-0987654321"
newrelicAppId = "123456789"
enableBrowserMonitoring = true
Replace the values for newrelicAccountId, newrelicLicenseKey, newrelicBrowserLicenseKey, and newrelicAppId with your New Relic Account ID, the ingest and browser ingest license key you, and your New Relic Browser App ID.
Install the Netlify quickstart
To get the most out of your Netlify integration you should also install the New Relic Netlify quickstart. You can find more information on the quickstart page on New Relic I/O.
