The Python agent supports recording database transactions when using the asyncpg database client module for PostgresSQL. This feature captures timing of database queries, SQL statements for the database query, and a stack trace for long database queries.
Read about the requirements and tips for integrating our Python agent with an app that uses asyncpg. To return to the general install instructions, go to Install the Python agent.
Automatic initialization with admin script
If you start your app with python app.py and use our Python agent version 5.20.0.149 or higher, you can use the recommended admin script integration method For example:
$NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE=path/to/newrelic.ini newrelic-admin run-program python path_to_appUsing the Python agent API
You can use the Python agent API to monitor any ASGI server or framework. To do this, mark the ASGI application entry point and set the transaction names.
Event loop diagnostic support
Our Python agent supports asyncio event loop diagnostics. For more information, see Python event loop diagnostics.
