1223496 - Make New Relic collect request query parameters too

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder: Infrastructure, defect, P2)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

We currently don't see the query parameters in the referrer for transaction traces etc, so just see eg:

/api/project/mozilla-inbound/jobs/

(From https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/677903/applications/4180461/transactions?tw%5Bend%5D=1447182338&tw%5Bstart%5D=1447171538#id=5b225765625472616e73616374696f6e2f46756e6374696f6e2f747265656865726465722e7765626170702e6170692e6a6f62733a4a6f6273566965775365742e637265617465222c22225d&app_trace_id=3fca17-21a6ef70-87d9-11e5-900f-b82a72d22a14 )

This is very useful when trying to debug issues eg bug 1223335.

New Relic has a now deprecated capture_params option, that was turned on in bug 1141036, however:
(a) it doesn't seem to have worked
(b) they've deprecated it in favour of new options

I'll go through the new options and figure out what we want to set:
