Before you start

Docs

Install, configure & run

Install the plugin using any of the following methods.

  • install from pypi repository:

    pip install newrelic-marklogic-plugin

  • install direct from GitHub:

    pip install https://github.com/marklogic-community/newrelic-plugin/archive/master.zip

  • download release (or clone) repository and run the following:

    python setup.py install

Next step is to create and edit configuration file.

  1. Copy etc/newrelic_marklogic.conf.sample and to newrelic_marklogic.conf

  2. Edit newrelic_marklogic.conf ensuring correct MarkLogic connection details and NewRelic license key

Start reporting metrics to NewRelic by running the following:

newrelic_marklogic.py -c newrelic_marklogic.conf

Which samples metrics every period of length duration as set within configuration.

It is recommended to initiate plugin as a background task, run via a scheduler (ex. cron job) or using any other approach appropriate for your environment.

Running with -h flag will emit usage instructions for running plugin:

newrelic_marklogic.py -h

usage: ./newrelic_marklogic.py [-h] [-c config file] [-l log file]

-h print usage instructions  (this message)
-c config file               (default: newrelic_marklogic.conf)
-l log file                  (default: newrelic_marklogic.log)

Usage

The configuration file drives all newrelic-marklogic-plugin features and is split into several sections.

The ‘marklogic’ section contains connection details to MarkLogic server and Management REST API.

[marklogic]

# Scheme to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API (http|https).
scheme = http

# Host to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API (FQDN hostname).
host = localhost

# Port to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API.
port = 8002

# Authentication to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API (BASIC|DIGEST).
auth= DIGEST

# Username to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API.
user = admin

# Password to use when accessing MarkLogic management REST API.
pass = admin

# (optional) Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify
# the server's TLS certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path
# to a CA bundle to use. Defaults to ``False``.
verify = False

The ‘newrelic’ section specifies the New Relic license key. Optionally you may nominate a proxy for accessing the New Relic Plugin API.

[newrelic]

# Your NewRelic license key.
key = ****************************************

# Proxy (ex. http://10.10.1.10:3128).
http_proxy =

The ‘plugin’ section defines sample period for updating New Relic, as well as the logging level for emitting messages about plugin operation.

There are a set of configurations for defining which statuses are captured by New Relic, summarized below.

  • summary_status (True|False): retrieve local cluster summary status.

  • databases (list of databases): retrieve database detailed status.

  • hosts_summary_status (True|False): retrieve summary of all hosts status.

  • hosts (list of hosts): retrieve host detailed status.

  • forests_summary_status (True|False): retrieve summary of all forests status.

  • forests (list of forests): retrieve forest detailed status.

  • groups (list of groups): retrieve group detailed status.

  • servers_summary_status (True|False): retrieve summary of all servers status.

  • servers (list of servers): retrieve server detailed status.

[plugin]

# New Relic plugin display name.
name = myMarkLogicServer

# Unique New Relic plugin guid.
guid = com.marklogic

# Sample period in seconds.
duration = 60

# Set logging level (INFO|DEBUG|ERROR).
log_level = DEBUG

# Local cluster summary.
summary_status = False

# Database(s) detail status.
databases = Documents

# Hosts summary.
hosts_summary_status = True

# Host(s) detail status.
hosts = 127.0.0.1

# Forests summary.
forests_summary_status = True

# Forest(s) detail status.
forests = Documents Meters

# Group(s) detail status.
groups = Default

# Servers summary.
servers_summary_status = True

# Server(s) detail status (must supply group name ex. ServerName:GroupName).
servers = Manage:Default

Create pypi distribution

  1. To create an official distribution, first ensure that all tests are passing:

    python -m unittest discover -s tests

  2. bump version number and create a distro:

    python setup.py sdist

  3. Upload the package to pypitest:

    twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

  4. after verifying all is well, generate the distro on pypi:

    twine upload dist/*
