Configure the infrastructure agent on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Beanstalk is a dynamic service that allows easy deployment and scalability for your applications. Follow these instructions to deploy the infrastructure agent to the instances launched with your AWS Elastic Beanstalk applications.

In addition to deploying the infrastructure agent you can also integrate New Relic with AWS and bring Elastic Beanstalk monitoring information into New Relic. If you haven't already done so, follow these instructions for Amazon integrations with infrastructure monitoring.

Install the infrastructure agent

To install the infrastructure agent on instances launched with AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

  1. In the .ebextensions folder inside your Elastic BeanStalk application, create a new file named newrelic.config.

  2. Based on the operating system, add the following content to the file:

    • Replace YOUR_LICENSE_KEY with your New Relic .

    • Replace x86_64 with aarch64 when running on ARM (Graviton).

  3. Push your app to Elastic BeanStalk:

    • In general, use eb deploy.
    • If you are still using Eb CLI 2.6 , use git aws.push if required.
    • Optional: Use the AWS Console UI.

After a successful setup, it can take up to fifteen minutes before metrics begin to appear in New Relic. View your host's infrastructure pages at one.newrelic.com.

To configure the infrastructure agent, either adapt the agent configuration file or use environment variables to determine the agent settings based on our requirements. Settings can be applied using any of the methods listed below:

  • Settings in file: Edit the newrelic.config file in the .ebextensions folder with additional agent settings. Settings should be included in the newrelic-infra.yml file content.
  • Settings in environment variables: Define the required NRIA_* environment variables via Elastic Beanstalk UI, API or CLI. It's also possible to define them via option_settings in the newrelic.config file. Learn more from AWS Beanstalk documentation.
