I have an existing New Relic account and an existing rails app on Heroku. I am successfully sending data from the Heroku app to New Relic. However I want to see the memory footprint per dyno in New Relic.
All the documentation I could find says to install the add-on via Heroku. I do not want it to provision a new account for me, I just want it to link to my current account. How can I do this? If I already have New Relic installed and working and I add the add-on, will it just link to the account it is already configured for?
I work for New Relic. Unfortunately, what you are asking for is not possible. When you install the New Relic add-on for Heroku, it automatically generates a new account with a unique license key and account ID. One of the bonuses of this is that you get Standard subscription for free if you use the add-on.
If you have further account-related questions, however, you're welcome to write to New Relic support to see if you can work something out with your account manager.
