Requirements

New Relic Infrastructure Agent

This is the description about how to run the Port Monitor Integration with New Relic Infrastructure agent, so it is required to have the agent installed (see agent installation).

Installation

• Download an archive file for the port-monitor Integration
• Place the executables under bin directory and the definition file port-monitor-definition.yml in /var/db/newrelic-infra/newrelic-integrations
• Set execution permissions for the binary file nr-port-monitor
• Place the integration configuration file port-monitor-config.yml.sample in /etc/newrelic-infra/integrations.d

Configuration

In order to use the Port Monitor Integration it is required to configure port-monitor-config.yml.sample file. Firstly, rename the file to port-monitor-config.yml. Then, depending on your needs, specify all instances that you want to monitor. Once this is done, restart the Infrastructure agent.

You can view your data in Insights by creating your own custom NRQL queries. To do so use NetworkPortSample event types.
