1032236 - Upgrade New Relic client on MDN servers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Community Platform, task)

Description

[Jannis Leidel [:jezdez]]

New Relic offers tracking AJAX requests if we upgrade to the latest version of their agent (newrelic>=2.10.1.9). The latest version is 2.22.0.19 according to https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/releases/python

We're currently investigating frontend rendering performance issues and that would help a lot.

@jezdez:  I've updated the python agent to 2.22.0.20 on both the dev and staging environments.  Can you tell me if this upgrade gives you the ability to track AJAX requests before I upgrade the production servers?

This ended up requiring more work than originally planned for because of some file permissions changes that happened with newer version of the client.   For future reference by webops folks, see the caveats I've added to https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SYSADMIN/Creating+NewRelic+RPMs.
