New Relic RPM now included on Brightbox 512 and above 20 Aug 09

FiveRuns announced last week that they would be ceasing the Manage service from 25th August. We have partnered with FiveRuns since December 2007 to bundle the Manage service with Brightbox products so we were sad to learn of its end-of-life.

However, we have been working hard over the last week to find an alternative solution and I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve agreed a partnership with New Relic to include their Bronze RPM monitoring service with all Brightbox 512 products and above.

New Relic RPM allows you to monitor 24×7, detect problems in real-time, drill down to find the causes and continuously tune your Rails applications for high performance.

Request your account

We hope to integrate our control panel with the New Relic APIs, but for now to get your free Bronze account:

1. Create a New Relic free (Lite) account, making a note of your account name, and email address used for registering then…
2. Submit a Brightbox support ticket, including your New Relic account name, and the email address to request your free upgrade to Bronze RPM.

New Relic have an excellent Knowledge Base which includes instructions for installing the monitoring agent into your Rails applications and much more.
