Incorrect counts with Unicorn

Problem

You're using New Relic Ruby APM and Unicorn together, but the counts for metrics and custom events seem too small.

Solution

Have Unicorn manually call NewRelic::Agent.shutdown to run the agent's exit handlers. Some of Unicorn's exit methods prevent the agent from shutting down as expected. The change below runs New Relic's shutdown method before killing the Unicorn process.

This fix relies on @expectedbehavior's fork of the unicorn-worker-killer gem.

1. Add this to your Gemfile using:

   gem 'unicorn-worker-killer', git: 'https://github.com/expectedbehavior/unicorn-worker-killer'

   コピー

   If you're already using unicorn-worker-killer in your Gemfile, update the reference to use this fork.

2. Bundle:

   bash

   コピー

   $
   bundle install

3. Update your unicorn configuration to include:

   require "unicorn/worker_killer"
   
   ::Unicorn::WorkerKiller.configure do |config|
     config.before_kill do |signal|
       ::NewRelic::Agent.increment_metric("Custom/UnicornWorkerBeforeKillSignal/#{signal}")
       ::NewRelic::Agent.shutdown
     end
   end

   コピー

4. Restart your server
