Configuring New Relic for the PHP buildpack

New Relic collects analytics about your application and client side performance.

Configuration

You can configure New Relic for the PHP buildpack in one of two ways:

• License key
• Cloud Foundry service

With a license key

Use this method if you already have a New Relic account. Use these steps:

1. In a web browser. go to the New Relic website to find your license key.

2. Set the value of the environment variable NEWRELIC_LICENSE to your New Relic license key, either through the manifest.yml file or by running the cf set-env command.

For more information, see https://github.com/cloudfoundry/php-buildpack#supported-software

With a Cloud Foundry service

To configure New Relic for the PHP buildpack with a Cloud Foundry service, bind a New Relic service to the app. The buildpack automatically detects and configures New Relic.

Your VCAP_SERVICES environment variable must contain a service named newrelic, the newrelic service must contain a key named credentials, and the credentials key must contain named licenseKey.

Important You cannot configure New Relic for the PHP buildpack with user provided services.
