Daemon Docker Image

This is a repository of base images for the New Relic Daemon. The New Relic Daemon is part of the New Relic PHP Agent. The Dockerfile in this repo is meant to make it easy to run the daemon in a separate container from the agent.

Running the Image

To run this image, use the commands docker build and docker run:

docker build -t newrelic-daemon .
docker run --name some-daemon newrelic-daemon

Accessing logs

The daemon logs are available by accessing the docker logs:

docker logs some-daemon

Using a custom config file

You may want to run the daemon using a custom config. The -c daemon flag must be set to the location of the config file. The -v flag will copy a local config file into the container. An absolute path is required when using the -v flag.

docker run --name some-daemon -v $PWD/newrelic.cfg:/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg newrelic-daemon -c /etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg

To find out more about the daemon config visit our docs site.

Passing in flags

Additional configuration can be passed in as flags. If you' like to change the log level, use the following command:

docker run newrelic-daemon --loglevel debug

To find out more about what flags are possible, execute the following command:

docker run newrelic-daemon --help

More information about how to setup an agent container can be found on the docs site.
