Jekyll::Newrelic

Add New Relic Browser to your Jekyll site.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-newrelic'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-newrelic

Add the necessary configuration to to _config.yml. Start by adding jekyll-newrelic to the list of gems for Jekyll to install:

gems:
  - jekyll-newrelic

Next setup your site with New Relic, and add the licenseKey and applicationID returned from when you setup Browser site. You can find these values by looking at the very end of the javascript code generated by New Relic. Check the documentation here for more details.

newrelic:
  licenseKey: "abcdef1234" # Use the actual licenseKey
  applicationID: "12345678" # Use the actual applicationID

Then add the following tag after the following line where you'd like the NewRelic code to be executed. NewRelic recommends including this at the end of the HEAD. Add the following before </head> in _includes/head.html

{% newrelic %}

If you have multiple environments, you may only want to use New Relic in a specific environments. Here's an example of how to only use New Relic in your production environment:

{% if jekyll.environment == "production" %}{% newrelic %}{% endif %}

The above example is useful for making sure you don't load the New Relic code when performing local development or in other non-production environments. This can throw your numbers off.

If you do not properly configure jekyll-newrelic and try to build a Jekyll site, you will get the following error message:

Invalid jekyll-newrelic configuration. See https://github.com/brint/jekyll-newrelic#usage for more details on usage and configuration.

Check spelling and capitalization of letters to make sure everything is properly configured.
