Installing NewRelic newrelic-infra on kontena nodes and master

This project contains a kontena.yml file for the kdgm/newrelic-kontena stack. This stack is used to run a single newrelic-infra agent on each kontena node (daemon deployment strategy) to send metrics about the host system and running docker containers to NewRelic.

A script (master-deploy.sh) is also provided to deploy newrelic-infra on the kontena master node.

Nodes

Check you are on the desired grid (e.g. staging or production)

Initial deploy of newrelic-kontena stack (newrelic-infra)

$ kontena stack install

Deploying after changing kontena.yml

$ kontena stack upgrade newrelic-kontena

Deploying after changing Dockerfile or docker-entrypoint.sh

This builds kdgm/newrelic-infra image and pushes the image to Docker Hub.

$ kontena stack build
$ kontena stack upgrade newrelic-kontena

Master

The kontena master requires a different approach. Here we run the newrelic/infrastructure:latest image directly via kontena master ssh with the appropriate parameters.

Set the following env variables before running this script:

$KONTENA_SSH_KEY: points to the ssh key file to login to kontena master

$NEWRELIC_LICENSE: contains the NewRelic license key for your project/organization

Deploying newrelic-infra

The master-deploy.sh script will deploy newrelic-infra to the kontena master node.

$ ./master-deploy.sh
