The New Relic VMware Tanzu (PCF) Nozzle Tile is a Firehose nozzle that forwards metrics from VMware Tanzu Loggregator in VMware Tanzu to New Relic for visualization.
This code can be either pushed as a regular VMware Tanzu application with cf push
or installed in Ops Manager using the tile version.
The tile is also available in the Pivotal Network alongside the documentation describing how to configure and use the nozzle.
See our documentation for more details.
The New Relic VMware Tanzu Nozzle Tile is compatible with VMware Tanzu 2.4 and higher.
The V2 release includes several additional features as well as breaking changes. Deployment configurations, alerts, and dashboards might require updates. Full details are available in the V2 notes.
- Reverse Log Proxy Gateway and V2 Envelope Format
- Event type adjustments
- Event attribute modifications
- Event aggregation - metric type events
- Multi-account event routing
- Caching and rate limiting - VMware Tanzu API calls
- Configuration variable changes
- Log message filters
- Metric type filters removed
- Graceful shutdown
The application is prebuilt and can be pushed as an application or imported to Ops Manager. If you make any changes to the code, you can rebuild both the binary and the tile.
- Get
dep
to manage dependencies:
$ go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
- Generate the
nr-fh-nozzle
binary inside./dist
:
$ make build-linux
You can then deploy the application with cf push
using the newly generated files, as described in the push as an application section.
- Install bosh-cli and tile-generator.
- Generate the tile under
./product
.
$ make release
You can use the generated tile right away and import it to Ops Manager.
- Access to a VMware Tanzu environment
- VMware Tanzu API credentials with admin rights
- VMware Tanzu UAA authorized client
- Set your environment variables as per the
manifest.yml.sample
file. - Run
go run main.go
To run tests and compile locally:
$ make build
You can create a new doppler.firehose
enabled client instead of retrieving the default client:
$ uaac target https://uaa.[your cf system domain]
$ uaac token client get admin -s [your admin-secret]
$ uaac client add firehose-to-newrelic \
--name firehose-to-newrelic \
--secret [your_client_secret] \
--authorized_grant_types client_credentials,refresh_token \
--authorities doppler.firehose,cloud_controller.admin_read_only \
--scope doppler.firehose
firehose-to-newrelic
: yourNRF_CF_CLIENT_ID
env variable.--secret
: yourNRF_CF_CLIENT_SECRET
env variable.
When you push the app as an application, you must edit manifest.yml
first
- Download the
manifest.yml.sample
file and the release from the repo. - Unzip the release, rename
manifest.yml.sample
tomanifest.yml
and place the file in thedist
directory. - Modify the manifest file to match your environment.
- Deploy:
cf push -f <manifest file>
Make sure to assign proper values to all required environment variables. Any property values within angle brackets need to be changed to the correct value for your environment.
When you're pushing the nozzle as an app, the
product
andrelease
folders are not required. Make sure to remove both folders to reduce the size of the upload, or use the.cfignore
file.
Import the tile from releases to Ops Mgr. Once imported, install the tile, and follow the steps detailed in the Pivotal Partner Docs.
A VMware Tanzu dashboard could be manually imported to New Relic dashboards using the Dashboard API. Follow this documentation to get detailed information about where to obtain the Admin user API key and to use the API explorer.
- Go to API Explorer
- Use your Admin user API key
- Copy the content of dashboard.json and paste to the dashboard parameter of the request.
- Send the request
