New Relic : Improve app performance with golden signals in your IDE

To get started with code-level metrics with CodeStream, you'll need to update or install the Python agent and ensure your IDE supports and uses the latest CodeStream extension.

1. Update your Python agent

To install or update the agent run the following command in your environment:

• To update your agent, run the command:
• To install the agent, run the command:
• If you are running into issues building wheels during installation; use the flag

To validate that you have the correct Python Agent installed use these steps:

• In New Relic One, navigate to the Environment tab (under Settings in the left menu bar) for your APM service.
• Verify that the Agent Version is listed as 7.10.0.175 (or the latest version).

2. Install the CodeStream extension

You can install the CodeStream extension as you would any other extension for VS Code or a JetBrains IDE by going to the marketplace in your IDE. Make sure you're running the latest version (v12.12 or later).

3. Sign up for CodeStream

If you aren't already on CodeStream, you'll need to sign up and create an account.

CodeStream offers a number of signup options, but we suggest that you select Sign up with New Relic. In one step, you'll be signed up for CodeStream and connected to your New Relic One account.

If there are people from your company that are already on CodeStream, you should have someone invite you to the CodeStream organization they've already created rather than creating a new one.

It's also possible that your company's CodeStream admin allows anyone signing up with a work email address to join the existing organization without needing to be invited. In this case, you'll see that organization listed for you to join after you sign up.
