[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.

Heroku

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.
