The New Relic Java agent is compatible with Scala, and supports New Relic API calls, annotations, and custom instrumentation. All information below is supplemental to New Relic's Java agent installation directions.
For Heroku, see Java agent with Scala on Heroku.
Scala frameworks
If your framework is not natively supported by New Relic, or if you want to set up additional monitoring, custom instrumentation is a great way to dig deeper into your application.
Instrument Scala with the Java agent API
Instrument Scala to use the New Relic API class or annotations.
-
Add the following information to your Scala configuration file:
- Configure using the project/build.scala file
-
Add the following line (replacing X.Y.Z with the Java agent version you use) to the appDependencies method in your application's
project/build.scala
file:"com.newrelic.agent.java" % "newrelic-api" % "X.Y.Z"
- Configure using the project/build.sbt file
-
Add the following line (replacing X.Y.Z with the Java agent version you use) to your application's
project/build.sbt
file:libraryDependencies += "com.newrelic.agent.java" % "newrelic-api" % "X.Y.Z"
-
Import the NewRelic class and use it in your application:
import com.newrelic.api.agent.NewRelic ... NewRelic.setTransactionName(null, "/myTransaction");
