We’re on a non longer existent new relic plan which doesn’t quite have the features we need but the $199/host/month pricing on new relic is super high (and it seems like it’s getting more rather than less expensive over time). The per host price aspect is also pulling us in the opposite direction that we want to go in. </div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div> Fred<br> <div id="bloop_sign_1432822441436176896" class="bloop_sign"></div> <br><p class="airmail_on" style="color:#000;">On 28 May 2015 at 14:03:06, Seb Jacobs (<a href="mailto:seb.jacobs@futurelearn.com">seb.jacobs@futurelearn.com</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div></div><div>

<div>Hello all,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>At FutureLearn we have been using NewRelic since before we
launched back in October 2013,</div>
<div>however it's getting to the point where we can no longer
justify paying for NewRelic. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>* What do we currently use NewRelic for? *</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>+ Identifying slow controller actions/SQL queries</div>
<div>+ Monitoring slow background jobs</div>
<div>+ Identifying deployments which may have effected specific
page generation times.</div>
<div>+ Monitoring page generation times</div>
<div>+ Monitoring page load times</div>
<div>+ Monitoring general throughput and servers (used for Capacity
planning)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I am currently in the process of evaluating alternative
services to NewRelic, and although in theory a combination of
services such as AppSignal, Skylight.io and ServerDensity might be
able to meet the more general use cases I have been unable to find
any which feel quite right.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I was wondering if any fellow LRUGers have come across any
NewRelic-like services which fit these particular needs, and work
out cheaper overall.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It might be worth noting that we are currently hesitant to go
down the path of reducing the number of instances running NewRelic
as this will make our infrastructure considerably more complicated
to manage.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Any help would be much appreciated.</div>
