A CLI to install the New Relic AWS Lambda integration and layers.
- Installs the New Relic AWS Lambda integration onto your AWS account
- Installs and configures a New Relic AWS Lambda layer onto your AWS Lambda functions
- Automatically selects the correct New Relic layer for your function's runtime and region
- Wraps your AWS Lambda functions without requiring a code change
- Supports Go, Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, and Ruby AWS Lambda runtimes
- Easily uninstall the AWS Lambda layer with a single command

- Install the AWS CLI and configure your environment with
aws configure
pip3 install newrelic-lambda-cliOr clone this repo and run:
python3 setup.py installTo update the CLI, run:
pip3 install --upgrade newrelic-lambda-cli
In order to instrument your AWS Lambda functions using New Relic you must first install
the New Relic AWS Lambda integration and the log ingestion function in the AWS region
in which your Lambda functions are located. If you have Lambda functions located in multiple
regions you can run the command multiple times specifying the AWS regions with
--aws-region <your aws region here>. This command only needs to be run once per AWS
region. By default this command will look for a default AWS profile configured via the AWS CLI.

UnrecognizedClientException:
(UnrecognizedClientException) when calling the GetFunction operation: The security token included in the request is invalid.
If you see this error, it means that specifying the region is necessary, and you need to supply the --aws-region flag to your command.
Unable to locate credentials:
Function: None, Region: None, Error: Failed to set up lambda integration: 'Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".'
- The AWS profile may not be properly configured; review documentation to Configure your AWS Profile (make sure the default region is set!).
- If there are multiple AWS profiles and the correct one is not specified, you can run
export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=MY_OTHER_PROFILEto set the environment variable to the proper profile.
SimulatePrincipalPolicy:
botocore.errorfactory.InvalidInputException: An error occurred (InvalidInput) when calling the SimulatePrincipalPolicy operation: Invalid Entity Arn: arn:aws:sts::123456789012:assumed-role/u-admin/botocore-session-0987654321 does not clearly define entity type and name.

Error adding new region to integration:
Linking New Relic account to AWS account Traceback (most recent call last): ... File "/Users/USER/PYTHONPATH/lib/python3.8/site-packages/newrelic_lambda_cli/gql.py", line 131, in link_account return res["cloudLinkAccount"]["linkedAccounts"][0] IndexError: list index out of range
This error can happen if you have an existing AWS integration, and are running newrelic-lambda integrations install with a different --linked-account-name (for instance, to add a new region to the integration). The linked account name can be whatever you want it to be, but needs to be consistent with the previously linked AWS account.
AWS Secrets Manager Secret Name Conflict
This CLI manages a AWS Secrets Manager secret with the name NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY. If
you run into a CloudFormation error reporting that this secret already exists, make
sure that you delete any existing secrets and try again. Keep in mind, by default in the
AWS console when you delete a secret from AWS Secrets Manager that it will not delete
the secret permanently for several days. You will need to perform a "force delete without
recovery" when deleting the secret to avoid this naming conflict.
