Using New Relic with Sitecore

I am testing New Relic with Sitecore CMS. All of the New Relic web transactions are being sent to the items layout file, so I am unable to drill into item level details in New Relic.

I am trying to use the New Relic API to call SetTransactionName and set it to the items URL, but I can't seem to make it work. I have created an httprequestbegin pipeline processor, and I have put it right at the end, right after:

<processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.ExecuteRequest, Sitecore.Kernel"/>

I have the New Relic API assembly installed, and is also in my bin folder. Here is the line of code that I am trying to run.

NewRelic.Api.Agent.NewRelic.SetTransactionName("Custom", Sitecore.Context.RawUrl);

Any ideas what I am possibly doing wrong? All web transactions still show up as the items layout file.

Solution

  • I'm setting the transaction name in the httpRequestProcessed pipeline and that works. Started out using the httpRequestBegin but I found that is was not working every time. Also remember that your request must take longer than 500 ms to execute before NewRelic picks it up.
