How to monitor ArangoDB with Newrelic

Question

We're having Newrelic application monitoring in many projects integrating with classical relational databases and mongo and recently started a new project with the ArangoDB as a multi-model graph database.

I cannot find any article on the web having both ArangoDB and Newrelic creatures in the topic.

Did anyone try to monitor a backend application with ArangoDB using Newrelic? Is it possible? Is it difficult?

If anybody knows, please share knowledge, describe available strategies and possible tactics.

Answer 1

We have a cookbook, that is meant for integration and monitoring of ArangoDB instances using Prometheus and Grafana.

https://docs.arangodb.com/devel/Cookbook/Monitoring/Collectd.html

There are to ways you could go about this. If you have some experience with Newrelic and feel motivated to adopt the above cookbook to Newrelic, we would not hinder you and help wherever we can.

Or you would go to our github repositpry and file a feature request after having stared us :) there.

In either case, you'd be awesome.
