Don't run node.js, but my experience with New Relic has been excellent - great product from folks who have been knowledgeable, responsive and friendly without exception.

Excellent news! Loved using New Relic for Ruby, can't wait to start using it for Node.

Yeah! Normally this title format means "X acquired Y", so made me do a double take.

Does anyone know if New Relic can be used in a more limited capacity with unsupported languages?

I've been building an OpenResty/Lapis app (Lua) and would love to be able to get some visibility into my Heroku dynos.

https://addons.heroku.com/librato provides insight into your Heroku dynos.

https://addons.heroku.com/adept-scale does too to some extent.

Don't blame me. The official policy is that titles on HN must be the title as given on the referenced page. I would have made it something more descriptive, but that's a waste of time.

PG's comprehensive explanation is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6572466

Added in edit: Hah! I see now that the title has been changed so that it isn't the title on the page, even though it wasn't "egregious linkbait, or false." Color me confused. I'm not complaining, the new title is probably better, but changing it seems completely at odds with PG's statement.

With the New Relic Platform, you can write a Plugin to report data about anything you want. There are Java and Ruby SDKs, and if you prefer, there is an HTTP API.

https://newrelic.com/platform https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/plugin-dev/

Hope that helps you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

We're working on a somehow similar product that works by understanding the network traffic received and sent by your application. This means it can be language independent. http://packetbeat.com/
