New Relic Monitorring?

[A Former User]

I did a search of the forum and noticed a few older threads indicating that New Relic was incompatible with NodeBB. Does anyone know if this is still the case?

I've actually recently tried this not to long ago, and I'm sad to say that it still is the case.

@ThingBreaker Yes, unfortunately so. New Relic works by hooking into express, excising the main router, and injects its own custom router with its own middleware to capture analytics.

It also happens to be how NodeBB handles the router, so when both New Relic and NodeBB try to mess around with the express router, there's a conflict and NodeBB (usually) loses.

If New Relic had an API, we could build a plugin to report to it

@julian I'm sure with enough community-driven interest and a wave of emails we could get them to change their ways
