Make sure you go to New Relic first to sign up and get your key from New Relic. Performance monitoring will never be the same after you do!

The package is available through your NuGet package manager and on the web

Set up:

1. install-package NewRelicWindowsAzure
2. The Package installer will prompt you for your NewRelic.AppName and your New Relic license key

Note: If you want to instrument more than one project in your solution, simply change the "Default project" in the package manager console and install the package

Visit New Relic after your package deploy is complete to see your performance metrics.
