Nice and simple
Really easy to setup. Could do with maybe a video guide but otherwise an excellent add-on for new relic.

Awesome! But version 6 has need of a minor tweak
Works as expected! To get more info on what Access Keys created from IAM should have in user policy, u have to head out to github. Also, I had to manually get into the machine to start the ruby app which made it work!
Nice reports and graphs for AWS
This plugin works exactly as described. It was easy to install by following the instructions and pasting in appropriate keys into user-data. The resulting stats and charts give you a helpful view into the health of your AWS resources.
Simple, easy to install, and provides a lot of insight
This same AMI/Application supports all of the AWS plugins that NewRelic offers, SQS, SNS, EC2, ELB, RDS... My only complaint is that you HAVE to input your credentials directly into the user data, it won't take an EC2 Role.
Just works!
Followed install instructions and all our data showed up on newrelic right away. We now have new relic alarms setup in newrelic along side other services that they provide.
Almost perfect
It is almost perfect. It was so easy to launch but then the instructions about setting user data didn't match with what I could see and ultimately I had to spend an hour finding where to add my config (AWS keys and New Relic key.)
If the instructions were updated, OR even better, if there was a config.sh script you could just run if you were forced to ssh in then this would have 5 stars.
Works as advertised
Not much to say - it just works. That's about all there is to say. I need to write twenty words to submit this review. Think I'm there now.
Easy to get up and running
As long as the steps are followed, this is a super easy setup to get up and running. I mainly used the AMI for monitoring out RDS instance. The not so good thing was that I had to recreate the instance twice because I had the wrong configuration. This was a little annoying as I had to destroy and recreate the instance but once you have the knack it's an easy process.
Stops working after a few days.
This works for a short period (4 or 5 days) and then stops reporting any data to New Relic. You have to terminate the instance and build a new one from scratch.
A support ticket logged to New Relic states that they are aware of the issue but offer no real solution to resolving it.
This is a real shame, because it's brilliant when it actually does work.
Easy install
Need to follow the directions, but if you do, it works very smoothly. Easy to install and get up and running.
