Introduction to New Relic Platform

• On the New Relic rpm account, go to "Applications".
• Click the "Applications" tab
• To start seeing data, you'll need to insert an agent into your app. Click on "Get Started".
  
  
  
  
• Select the .NET language.
  
  
  
• Select the link to download the x86 installer or the x64 installer of the .NET Agent based on the version of Windows you are running (32/64-bit).
• Install the downloaded .NET Agent.
• When prompted, enter your New Relic license key that can be seen in your account in "Reveal your license Key". This is a 40-character hexadecimal string that New Relic provides.
  
  
  
  
• If you didn't select the option to restart IIS in the installer then you can manually restart it by opening an administrative command prompt and running:
  

  iisreset

5. Updating the .NET agent config file

To change the default agent configuration options:

1. Edit the newrelic.config file in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\New Relic\.NET Agent directory.
2. Remove the "<name>My Application</name>" line.
3. Directly after the "browserMonitoring" Node add:
   
   <applicationPools>
   <defaultBehavior instrument="true"/>
   </applicationPools>
   
4. Save the newrelic.config file.
5. Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)".
6. Right-click on the New Relic folder and click "Properties".
7. Click on the "Security" tab then select "Security" > "Advanced".
8. Select all users in the Permissions list and click "Remove".
9. Click "Add" then select "A Principle"
10. Type "Everyone" into the "object name" box and click "OK".
11. Check the "Full Control" box.
12. Click "OK".
13. Click the "Replace all child object permissions" box and click "OK".
14. Navigate to "C:\Program Files".
15. Right-click on the "New Relic" folder and click "Properties".
16. Complete the preceding Steps 6 through 11 to set the correct permissions.
17. Restart IIS (as in the installation procedure above) to enforce your changes.

6. After logging into the New Relic web app, the service will show your data on the dashboard. You can then customise your views, troubleshoot slow transactions and see inside your app in new and exciting ways!



7. You may now use the New Relic web interface at NewRelic.com to monitor your application.



8. By default, all agent data will appear in the New Relic user interface as a single application. If you want separate .NET applications to appear as separate applications in the UI, add an application setting to the application's configuration named NewRelic.AppName, and set its value to the name of the application.



Figure : Here is an example of the .NET Application Settings directory with a customized NewRelic.AppName.
