  * [Custom Counters](#custom-counters)

 * [Service Installation](#service-installation)

### Requirements

* .NET >= 4.0

* New Relic account

### Configuration

Create two new text files in the .\config directory named `newrelic.json` and `plugin.json`. You can use the contents of the _template_ files as a starting point.

* **newrelic.json** - The only required field is your New Relic license key which can be found on the Account Summary page. See [github.com/newrelic-platform/newrelic_dotnet_sdk](https://github.com/newrelic-platform/newrelic_dotnet_sdk#configuration-options) for more options.

* **plugin.json** - This is the list of servers and counters you want to monitor. The `name` field needs to be a network address/hostname accessible from the system this service is running on. This `name` will show up as the Instance name in [https://rpm.newrelic.com](https://rpm.newrelic.com).

#### Custom Counters

Check out the [Wiki](../../wiki/custom-counters) for instructions on customizing the Perfmon counters collected by this service.

### Service Installation

`newrelic_perfmon_plugin.exe install` 

You will be prompted for credentials. The service will need to run under an account that has user access to all hosts referenced in **plugin.json**.

This executable is built using the [Topshelf](http://topshelf-project.com/ "Topshelf") library.
