Pivotal Cloud Foundry using App Direct "newrelic" Monitoring Service

PCF AWS marketplace provides app direct services and in this example I am going to use the "newrelic" monitoring service to monitor my spring based java application. It's really this simple.

1. Create a service as shown below.

[Tue Mar 04 17:19:34 papicella@:~/cfapps/spring-travel ] $ cf create-service newrelic standard dev-newrelic

2. Create a manifest.yml for my spring application which uses the new relic service above.

applications:
- name: pas-springtravel 
  memory: 1024M 
  instances: 1
  host: pas-springtravel 
  domain: cfapps.io 
  path: ./travel.war
  services:
  - dev-mysql
  - dev-newrelic

3. Push the application

[Tue Mar 04 17:19:34 papicella@:~/cfapps/spring-travel ] $ cf push -f manifest.yml
