The New Relic Go Agent allows you to monitor your Go applications with New
Relic. It helps you track transactions, outbound requests, database calls, and
Relic. It helps you track transactions, outbound requests, database calls, and
other parts of your Go application's behavior and provides a running overview of
garbage collection, goroutine activity, and memory use.

Go is a compiled language, and doesn’t use a virtual machine. This means that setting up New Relic for your Golang app requires you to use our Go agent API and manually add New Relic methods to your source code. Our API provides exceptional flexibility and control over what gets instrumented.

## Installation

## Compatibility and Requirements
### Compatibility and Requirements

For the latest version of the agent, Go 1.7+ is required, due to the use of `context.Context`.
(For versions 2.X and earlier of the Go agent, Go 1.3+ is required.)

Linux, OS X, and Windows (Vista, Server 2008 and later) are supported.


## Installing and using the Go agent
### Installing and using the Go agent

To install the agent, follow the instructions in our [GETTING_STARTED](https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md)
document or our [GUIDE](https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/blob/master/GUIDE.md).

continue to add integration packages based on your feedback. You can weigh in on
potential integrations by opening an `Issue` here in our New Relic Go agent GitHub project.


## Upgrading
### Upgrading

If you have already been using version 2.X of the agent and are upgrading to
version 3.0, see our [MIGRATION guide](MIGRATION.md) for details.

## Getting Started

[v3/examples/server/main.go](v3/examples/server/main.go) is an example that
will appear as "Example App" in your New Relic applications list. To run it:

```
env NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=__YOUR_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY__LICENSE__ \
go run v3/examples/server/main.go
```

Some endpoints exposed are [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/)
