How may I add new relic addon in a java application app deployed in heroku

Question

How may I add new relic addon in a java application app deployed in heroku. I already follow all the official tutorials, but it looks like the agent doesn't work. My application uses an embedded jetty server.

Thank you

could you let us know what tutorials you've used?

The guides on newrelic.com for installing the regular Java agent won't work for Heroku. On Heroku there's an add-on for New Relic which should get you going.

Check out this page for the list of New Relic packages available: https://addons.heroku.com/newrelic

For example, you can run heroku addons:add newrelic:stark to use the "Stark" New Relic package as listed on that site. You can also add this add-on through the dashboard once logged in.

If this is what you've already tried or if it doesn't work for you, let me know :)
