# This file configures the New Relic Python Agent.
#
# The path to the configuration file should be supplied to the function
# newrelic.agent.initialize() when the agent is being initialized.
#
# The configuration file follows a structure similar to what you would
# find for Microsoft Windows INI files. For further information on the
# configuration file format see the Python ConfigParser documentation at:
#
#    http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html
#
# For further discussion on the behaviour of the Python agent that can
# be configured via this configuration file see:

# Here are the settings that are common to all environments.

[newrelic]

# You must specify the license key associated with your New
# Relic account. This key binds the Python Agent's data to your
# account in the New Relic service.
license_key = TODO

# The appplication name. Set this to be the name of your
# application as you would like it to show up in New Relic UI.
# The UI will then auto-map instances of your application into a
# entry on your home dashboard page.
app_name = Pubstomp.info

# When "true", the agent collects performance data about your
# application and reports this data to the New Relic UI at
# newrelic.com. This global switch is normally overridden for
# each environment below.
monitor_mode = true

# Sets the name of a file to log agent messages to. Useful for
# debugging any issues with the agent. This is not set by
# default as it is not known in advance what user your web
# application processes will run as and where they have
# permission to write to. Whatever you set this to you must
# ensure that the permissions for the containing directory and
# the file itself are correct, and that the user that your web
# application runs as can write to the file. If not able to
# write out a log file, it is also possible to say "stderr" and
# output to standard error output. This would normally result in
# output appearing in your web server log.
log_file = /tmp/newrelic-python-agent.log

# Sets the level of detail of messages sent to the log file, if
# a log file location has been provided. Possible values, in
# increasing order of detail, are: "critical", "error", "warning",
# "info" and "debug". When reporting any agent issues to New
# Relic technical support, the most useful setting for the
# support engineers is "debug". However, this can generate a lot
# of information very quickly, so it is best not to keep the
# agent at this level for longer than it takes to reproduce the
# problem you are experiencing.
log_level = info

# The Python Agent communicates with the New Relic service using
# SSL by default. Note that this does result in an increase in
# CPU overhead, over and above what would occur for a non SSL
# connection, to perform the encryption involved in the SSL
# communication. This work is though done in a distinct thread
# to those handling your web requests, so it should not impact
# response times. You can if you wish revert to using a non SSL
# connection, but this will result in information being sent
# over a plain socket connection and will not be as secure.
ssl = true

# The Python Agent will attempt to connect directly to the New
# Relic service. If there is an intermediate firewall between
# your host and the New Relic service that requires you to use a
# HTTP proxy, then you should set both the "proxy_host" and
# "proxy_port" settings to the required values for the HTTP
# proxy. The "proxy_user" and "proxy_pass" settings should
# additionally be set if proxy authentication is implemented by
# the HTTP proxy. The "proxy_scheme" setting dictates what
# protocol scheme is used in talking to the HTTP protocol. This
# would normally always be set as "http" which will result in the
# agent then using a SSL tunnel through the HTTP proxy for end to
# end encryption.
# proxy_scheme = http

# Tells the transaction tracer and error collector (when
# enabled) whether or not to capture the query string for the

# to turn it off.

# When the response time of a controller action exceeds this
# threshold, a transaction trace will be recorded and sent to

# Apdex controller action - four times the Apdex T value.

# When the transaction tracer is on, SQL statements can
# optionally be recorded. The recorder has three modes, "off"
# which sends no SQL, "raw" which sends the SQL statement in its
# original form, and "obfuscated", which strips out numeric and
# string literals.

# Threshold in seconds for when to collect stack trace for a SQL
# call. In other words, when SQL statements exceed this
# threshold, then capture and send to the UI the current stack
# trace. This is helpful for pinpointing where long SQL calls
# originate from in an application.

# Determines whether the agent will capture query plans for slow
# SQL queries. Only supported in MySQL and PostgreSQL. Set this
# to "false" to turn it off.

# will not not be captured. Relevant only when "explain_enabled"
# is true.

# 'module:function' or 'module:class.function' for which
# additional function timing instrumentation will be added.

# exceptions or logged exceptions and sends them to UI for
# viewing. The error collector is enabled by default. Set this
# to "false" to turn it off.

# To stop specific errors from reporting to the UI, set this to
# a space separated list of the Python exception type names to

# JavaScript fragments.
