Is it possible to use New Relic with GAE/J?


Is there a way to run New Relic Server Monitor with Google App Engine for Java?

New Relic docs say that Python GAE is not supported , but there is no mention of GAE/J. GAE/J uses modified Jetty, which is supported by New Relic, but I was not able to make it work the standard way and I haven't found any information about the matter anywhere.


Solution

  • No. Doesn't new relic require you to add an agent to the system? You don't have any access to the actual "server" in GAE. It's all virtual and managed by them. I would recommend if you want to monitor your site for uptime signing up for something like pingdom which will alert you if your site stops responding.
