The New Relic Roku Agent is designed to monitor the behavior of Roku applications, focusing on system-level and video-related events. It uses the Event API to send data via a REST interface, supporting five types of events:
- ConnectedDeviceSystem: System events
- VideoAction: Video events
- VideoErrorAction: Error events
- VideoAdAction: Ad events
- VideoCustomAction: Custom events
Prerequisites
To initialize the New Relic Roku Agent, you need:
- Your New Relic account ID
- Your New Relic .
Install and configure the Roku agent
Download the Roku Video Agent package and unzip it to access the following file structure:
components/NewRelicAgent/ NRAgent.brs NRAgent.xml NRTask.brs NRTask.xmlsource/ NewRelicAgent.brsCopy the NewRelicAgent folder to the components directory and the NewRelicAgent.brs file to the source directory of your Roku app project.
Initialize the Agent: Open your main BrightScript file (e.g., Main.brs). Initialize the New Relic Agent by calling the NewRelic function with your ACCOUNT ID, , APP NAME, APPLICATION TOKEN, and ENDPOINT.
To configure the agent to use different endpoints based on the environment, modify the Main.brs file. The default configuration value is US, but it can be changed to EU or staging depending on the environment you want to use.
