Can I use the new relic with GAE / J?

Question

Is there a way to start New Relic Server Monitor with the Google App Engine for Java?

New replicas of docs say Python GAE is not supported, but there is no mention of GAE / J. GAE / J uses a modified Jetty, which is supported by New Relic, but I could not get it to work in a standard way, and I did not find any information about it anywhere.

Answer 1

Not. Doesn’t the new relic require adding an agent to the system? You do not have access to the actual "server" in GAE. All this is virtual and controlled by them. I would recommend if you want to monitor your site while subscribing to something like pingdom, which will warn you if your site stops responding.
