newrelic/newrelic_installer — version 0.5.0 Jun 27th 2023

New Relic Puppet module

newrelic-newrelic_installer is a Puppet module that will help you scale your New Relic Observability efforts. It uses the New Relic CLI and New Relic Open Installation repository to achieve this.

Currently, we have included Linux and Windows support for New Relic's Infrastructure and Logs integrations, with more agents and integrations following in the near future.

Note: Installing specific versions of an agent is not supported, this role will always install latest released version of a New Relic agent.

Installation

Puppet Forge

puppet module install newrelic-newrelic_installer

          environment_variables => {

            "NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID"       => <YOUR-NR-ACCOUNT-ID>,
            "NEW_RELIC_REGION"           => "<US|EU>",
