newrelic-client-go

The New Relic Client provides the building blocks for tools in the Developer Toolkit, enabling quick access to the suite of New Relic APIs. As a library, it can also be leveraged within your own custom applications.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"

	"github.com/newrelic/newrelic-client-go/newrelic"
	"github.com/newrelic/newrelic-client-go/pkg/entities"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize the client.
	client, err := newrelic.New(newrelic.ConfigPersonalAPIKey(os.Getenv("NEW_RELIC_API_KEY")))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("error initializing client:", err)
	}

	// Search the current account for entities by name and type.
	searchParams := entities.SearchEntitiesParams{
		Name: "Example entity",
		Type: entities.EntityTypes.Application,
	}

	entities, err := client.Entities.SearchEntities(searchParams)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("error searching entities:", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", entities)
}

Development

Requirements

Go 1.13.0+
GNU Make
git

Building

This package does not generate any direct usable assets (it's a library). You can still run the build scripts to validate you code, and generate coverage information.

# Default target is 'build'
$ make

# Explicitly run build
$ make build

# Locally test the CI build scripts
# make build-ci

Testing

Before contributing, all linting and tests must pass.

Tests can be run directly via:

# Tests and Linting
$ make test

# Only unit tests
$ make test-unit

# Only integration tests
$ make test-integration

Integration tests

Integration tests communicate with the New Relic API, and therefore require proper account credentials to run properly. The suite makes use of secrets, which will need to be configured in the environment or else the integraiton tests will be skipped during a test run. To run the integration test suite, the following secrets will need to be configured:

NEW_RELIC_API_KEY
NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID
NEW_RELIC_INSIGHTS_INSERT_KEY
NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY
NEW_RELIC_REGION

Go Version Support

We'll aim to support the latest supported release of Go, along with the previous release. This doesn't mean that building with an older version of Go will not work, but we don't intend to support a Go version in this project that is not supported by the larger Go community. Please see the Go releases page for more details.

Commit Messages

Using the following format for commit messages allows for auto-generation of the CHANGELOG:

Format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

Type	Description	Change log?
`chore`	Maintenance type work	No
`docs`	Documentation Updates	Yes
`feat`	New Features	Yes
`fix`	Bug Fixes	Yes
`refactor`	Code Refactoring	No

Scope

This refers to what part of the code is the focus of the work. For example:

General:

build - Work related to the build system (linting, makefiles, CI/CD, etc)
release - Work related to cutting a new release

Package Specific:

newrelic - Work related to the New Relic package
http - Work related to the internal/http package
alerts - Work related to the pkg/alerts package

Documentation

Note: This requires the repo to be in your GOPATH (godoc issue)

$ make docs

Community Support
