How can I use New Relic with LiveSite?

Hi,

I am keen to try out New Relic on LiveSite and have attempted to follow the instructions for Tomcat, but have not had any success. I think this is because the iwlsruntime controls how Tomcat starts/stops...

These are the instructions I have looked at:

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about the product you're referencing, but apparently all it needs is an additional startup param.

Windows:

If you used the default win.svc.bat to create your service, then delete the service via `sc delete iwlsruntime`, then edit win.svc.bat to add the needed parameter, then execute the batch script again to recreate the service.

If you used the native tomcat service manager, use `tomcat6w.exe //ES//iwlsruntime` to edit the service and add the param on the 'Java' tab.

Linux:

Edit your startup script (/etc/init.d/iwlsruntime) to add the param and restart the service.

Please remember to post your environment details next time Smiley Happy

Thanks rpoulin for the suggestions, I did end up getting it to work by doing the following:

Modify the underlying Tomcat configuration (using tomcat6w.exe) and adding the Java Option -javaagent:<path_to_newrelic.jar> to the Tomcat service's Java tab.
Modify the the registry entry for the LiveSite service (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\<livesite_servce_name>\Parameters), adding the same JVM option (named 'JVM Option Number XX' - increment depending on your Java option count) and increment the JVM option count param (JVM Option Count) in hex.

Then after restarting both Tomcat and LiveSite, everything started working.
