New Relic Java Instrumentation for the Play 1.x Framework

Provides instrumentation for the Play 1.x Framework

Installation

To use this instrumentation.

  1. Download the latest release.
  2. In the New Relic Java Agent directory (directory containing newrelic.jar), create a directory named extensions if it doe not already exist.
  3. Copy the jars into the extensions directory.
  4. Restart the application.

Recommended Additional Instrumentation

In order to capture the asynchronous behavior in the Play 1.x framework, it is recommended that you also include the Java Executors instrumentation that is available in the New Relic Experimental Repository: https://github.com/newrelic-experimental/newrelic-java-executors

Getting Started

After restarting the application, you should see transaction names based on the Controller class name and action name. As well you should start to capture asynchronous behavior.

Usage

The calls will show up under Databases as Aerospike

Building

If you make changes to the instrumentation code and need to build the instrumentation jars, follow these steps

  1. Set environment variable NEW_RELIC_EXTENSIONS_DIR. Its value should be the directory where you want to build the jars (i.e. the extensions directory of the Java Agent).
  2. Build one or all of the jars.
    a. To build one jar, run the command: gradlew moduleName:clean moduleName:install
    b. To build all jars, run the command: gradlew clean install
  3. Restart the application
