An example application instrumented with New Relic APM

Sample Java Application Instrumented with a New Relic APM Agent

This repository contains a simple Java application to calculate the nth number (between 1-90) in the Fibonacci sequence. It has no front end and runs locally in a terminal window. The built in load generator will generate and error every 4th attempt as it attempts to calculate a number outside of 1-90 on these attempts.

This application has been set up to be instrumented with New Relic APM. For similar versions of this same application, see the following repositories:

• No Instrumentation
