Hacking Trellis' Playbook

Add this role to dev.yml and server.yml immediately after role: php:

  # `dev.yml` & `server.yml`

  roles:
      # Some other Trellis roles ...
      - { role: php, tags: [php] }
+     - { role: TypistTech.trellis-newrelic-php, tags: [php, newrelic-php] }
      # Some other Trellis roles ...

Requirements

Installation

Add this role to galaxy.yml:

- src: TypistTech.trellis-newrelic-php # Case-sensitive!
  version: XXX.YYY.ZZZ # Check for latest version!

Run $ trellis galaxy install to install this new role.

Common Errors

vault_newrelic_license is not defined

Encrypt your New Relic license key in group_vars/<environment>/vault.yml. See role variables.

New Relic merges multiple environments into single application

Solution: Define different appname for different environments.

Error after upgrading PHP version

New Relic would fail and causes provision end up in errors when upgrading PHP major or minor releases (e.g: from 7.4 to 8.0, from 8.0 to 8.1).

non-zero return code
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'newrelic.so'
(tried: /usr/lib/php/20180731/newrelic.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/newrelic.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory),
/usr/lib/php/20180731/newrelic.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20180731/newrelic.so.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on

After each PHP major or minor release upgrade (i.e: when you see the above error):

# For multi-server setups, perform the following steps on each server.
ssh [email protected]
sudo newrelic-install install
sudo reboot

# Wait for the server(s) to reboot and then re-provision
# For multi-server setups, you only need to re-provision once only
trellis provision production

Limitations

  • Only one New Relic APM application per server by default.

Extends the fastcgi_basic block to include fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "newrelic.appname={{ item.key }} ({{ env }})"; right after the line include fastcgi_params; to work around this limitation.

Pull requests are welcomed.
