New Relic Java Agent Instrumentation for Java Undertow

New Relic Java Agent instrumentation for the Undertow Framework (https://undertow.io/)

Installation

To install:

  1. Download the latest release jar files.
  2. In the New Relic Java directory (the one containing newrelic.jar), create a directory named extensions if it does not already exist.
  3. Copy the downloaded jars into the extensions directory.
  4. Restart the application.

Getting Started

Once installed the instrumentation will track calls to the Undertow framework as Web Transactions.

To verify that the instrumentation has been sucessfully loaded by the New Relic Java Agent, use the Metric Explorer to check to see if a metric of the following form has been created when the application starts up where xxx is one of the version numbers (1.4.1, 1.4.11, 2.0):
Supportability/WeaveInstrumentation/Loaded/com.newrelic.instrumentation.undertow-core-xxx

If none of the metrics exist then check for metrics like the following: Supportability/WeaveInstrumentation/Skipped/com.newrelic.instrumentation.undertow-core-xxx

If successfully loaded then the transaction names should take the form on the Undertow routes. Additonally there should be metrics that start with Java/io.undertow

Building

Building the extension requires that Gradle is installed. To build the extension jars from source, follow these steps:

Build single extension

To build a single extension with name extension, do the following:

  1. Set an environment variable NEW_RELIC_EXTENSIONS_DIR and set its value to the directory where you want the jar file built.
  2. Run the command: gradlew extension:clean extension:install

Build all extensions

To build all extensions, do the following:

  1. Set an environment variable NEW_RELIC_EXTENSIONS_DIR and set its value to the directory where you want the jar file built.
  2. Run the command: gradlew clean install

Testing

Currently not available

Verifying Instrumentation

The instrumentation can be verified against all versions of the Undertow framework. You can use this to verify that the instrumentation will work with the version you are using. If no violations are listed as output then the instrumentation is still valid for all applicable versions. For details on the verify process see https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-gradle-verify-instrumentation.

In order to verify the instrumentation it needs to have the necessary libraries so if you haven't run any gradlew commands then you need to run this command:
./gradlew checkForDependencies

To verify:

  1. To verify all versions of the instrumentation run: ./gradlew verifyInstrumentation
  2. To verify a specific version run: ./gradlew undertow-core-version:verifyInstrumentation

We try to keep the instrumentation up to date but if the verify fails for a new version please open an issue on this repo.
