Does anyone know if New Relic can be used in a more limited capacity with unsupported languages? I've been building an OpenResty/Lapis app (Lua) and would love to be able to get some visibility into my Heroku dynos.

https://addons.heroku.com/librato https://addons.heroku.com/librato provides insight into your Heroku dynos. https://addons.heroku.com/adept-scale https://addons.heroku.com/adept-scale does too to some extent.

With the New Relic Platform, you can write a Plugin to report data about anything you want. There are Java and Ruby SDKs, and if you prefer, there is an HTTP API. https://newrelic.com/platform https://newrelic.com/platform https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/plugin-dev/ https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/plugin-dev/ Hope that helps you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

We're working on a somehow similar product that works by understanding the network traffic received and sent by your application. This means it can be language independent. http://packetbeat.com/ http://packetbeat.com/

  That's really cool! Great name, too. Probably a little less comprehensive than New Relic's offering, but I like that you don't have to do any kind of integration. On a side note, the font you guys use for parts of your site is way too thin. It's really hard to read.

    Thanks! We're working on adding more information to the website and also on improving the design, based on the feedback we got so far.

(Product Manager @ New Relic here) We launched a bunch of stuff today, including a new Agent SDK that is designed for exactly this purpose. It's beta today and has limited functionality, but give it a shot and let us know how it goes for you. https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/agent-sdk https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/agent-sdk
