New Relic RPM Integrates with Box Panel
Posted by Nathan Kaiser on Tue Mar 03 13:38:00 UTC 2009
Blue Box Group is known for its world-class support and standing by your side when scaling your Ruby on Rails site. Rails is heralded for its Agile Development, but we all know how resource intensive some apps can get. Blue Box Group helps to cope with these growing pains with its Rails expertise and top-notch support. As part of this mission, we’re continually looking for tools to allow customers to diagnose application bottlenecks. We’ve recently had an exciting opportunity to integrate such a tool within our Box Panel control panel and we’re excited to announce our partnership with New Relic.
New Relic offers RPM™, a Rails Performance Management solution that enables developers and operations teams to quickly and cost effectively monitor, diagnose, and fix application performance problems in real time. More than 1200 organizations use New Relic RPM to monitor and optimize their Rails applications. New Relic is a private company headquartered in San Francisco, California. To learn more about New Relic, visit www.NewRelic.com.
We really like what the folks over at New Relic have to offer which is why we’ve even gone so far as to integrate New Relics monitoring into our Box Panel user interface. Getting started with the RPM is easy! All you have to do is click on the New Relic RPM link in your Box Panel navigation.
You then have two options, you can either sign up for a New Relic RPM account, or you can add a New Relic key from your existing New Relic account. All Blue Box Group customers are eligible for a free New Relic Lite Account, or you can sign-up for higher level of service as well. Once your signed up, you’ll receive an e-mail from New Relic with the extremely simple instructions for getting the RPM integrated with your site. From then on, when you go to your RPM page in Box Panel you’ll get an overview of how your website is performing. 3 simple steps and 5 minutes of your time is all you need to begin monitoring performance metrics.
We’re excited for yet another feature we can bring to you, and hopefully you’ll find this plugin as helpful as we do for gaining greater understanding on the inner workings of your Rails site.
We’re constantly looking to partner with vendors to provide such services to our customers and look forward to bringing you additional features such as this in the future.
