Nginx New Relic Plugin

This is a re-implementation of the official NGiNX New Relic plugin in Go so that it compiles down to a static binary with no Python runtime required. It only grabs the stats that are including the http-stub-status module and does not add all the stats available from NGiNX Plus.

Aside from being just a static binary, it's also a 12-factor app which is good for running in containers:

• All configuration is from environment variables
• Logging is to stdout

On startup the plugin prints its configuration to the log so you can see how it ran.

Example Config

AGENT_NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME="NGiNX Gateway Foo" \
AGENT_STATS_URL=http://localhost:32768/health \
AGENT_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY="<your license key here>" \
./nginx-nr-agent

You can also change the New Relic API URL used like this:

AGENT_NEW_RELIC_API_URL="<your url here>"

Generally this is not a setting you'll need to change.
