This is a test repository to demonstrate an Openshift image with the New Relic Python agent Instructions for building and running:
NOTE - this Docker container requires two things:
- An ISV / partner account with Red Hat as you need to run the container on a RHEL7 host
- An account / license key from Newrelic - https://newrelic.com/signup
After getting the above, then proceed with the below
- Install a RHEL7 host
- Install Docker on that host
- Download/clone this git repo
- Go to https://www.newrelic.com and obtain a license key (xxxxx).
- Build the Docker image
docker build -t newrelic-admin-rhel73/python-agent . - Once the image is built, launch the container:
docker run -e NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=xxxxx -e NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME=hello-openshift newrelic-admin-rhel73/python-agent
- This will launch the container and print 5 test messages and send metrics for those to your NewRelic account
The included Dockerfile sets the newrelic-admin run-program command as an entrypoint. This guarantees that all commands will run with newrelic-admin run-program prepended, even if a customer overrides the command.
For example, docker run openshift-demo echo "hello world" will actually run the command newrelic-admin run-program echo hello world.
The following environment variables are set by default:
NEW_RELIC_LOG=stderr
NEW_RELIC_LOG_LEVEL=info
NEW_RELIC_ENABLED=true
In addition, the newrelic python package is installed and an example program is copied into the image and set to run by default.
The NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY env variable is required to be set in order to report data to New Relic.
The NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME env variable is also required to set up reporting to a particular application in New Relic.
# Build the image
docker build -t newrelic-admin-rhel73/python-agent .
# Run the image with the NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY variable set
docker run -e NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=xxxxx -e NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME=hello-openshift newrelic-admin-rhel73/python-agent
