Once you’ve installed the Python agent, you should see data reporting within a few minutes. If you’re having trouble, these are the steps that our support teams take to troubleshoot, and we hope they will help you find and resolve the issue quickly.
-
Confirm the app is receiving traffic, has been for at least 5 min, and continues to receive traffic during troubleshooting.
-
Run the Diagnostics CLI to collect data then validate the following…
- Confirm Python version and OS is supported.
- Confirm the
newrelicpackage is visible on thepip freezelist executed from within the virtualenv. - Make sure the application is started using the same virtualenv in which
newrelicpackage was installed. - Confirm
license_key&app_nameis set within thenewrelic.inifile OR with use of environment variables. - Confirm the
newrelic-adminscript is being used to start up the application. - Run the Python Agent Test.
- Check for High Security Mode configuration mismatches.
-
If
newrelic-admincan’t be used or simply doesn’t yield expected results, we recommend an advanced integration method within the applications code. -
Confirm it’s a web application and if not, we recommend a solution for monitoring background scripts or jobs.
-
Check the log file is generated after configuring logging in the agent.
