This is a repository of base images for the New Relic Daemon. The New Relic Daemon is part of the New Relic C-SDK. The Dockerfile in this repo is meant to make it easy to run the daemon in a separate container from the SDK.
To run this image, use the commands docker build and docker run:
docker build -t newrelic-daemon .
docker run --name some-daemon newrelic-daemon
The daemon will listen on port 31339.
The daemon logs are available by accessing the docker logs:
docker logs some-daemon
You may want to run the daemon using a custom config. The -c daemon flag must
be set to the location of the config file. The -v flag will copy a local
config file into the container. An absolute path is required when using the -v
flag.
docker run --name some-daemon -v $PWD/newrelic.cfg:/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg newrelic-daemon -c /etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg
Additional configuration can be passed in as flags. If you' like to change the log level, use the following command:
docker run newrelic-daemon --loglevel debug
To find out more about what flags are possible, execute the following command:
docker run newrelic-daemon --help
More information about how to setup an agent container can be found on the docs site.
