Azure extensions for infrastructure

You can install our infrastructure agent using Microsoft Azure extensions.

New Relic uses these extensions to facilitate the installation of the infrastructure agent. This removes the need for manually updating our agent and, more importantly, automatically scales the agent with your Azure scale sets.

Install infrastructure using Azure extensions

To install the agent using the Azure extension on supported operating systems.

1. Go to any Azure VM, Azure scale set, or Azure Service Fabric using scale sets, and select the Extensions tab.

   

2. Select the New Relic infrastructure extension.

   

3. Follow the instructions, and add your license key.

   

   Tip

   If you automate the installation, remember to pass your license key with the NR_LICENSE_KEY variable. You can use configurations via environment variables (NRIA_ format) to customize any agent configuration.

4. You're good to go!
