Project Overview

TopCoder Competition Engine is the base system for running Single Round Matches (SRM) and Marathon Matches.

We are in the process to find a way to better monitoring every part of TopCoder Competition Engine, so we can find the bottleneck of the current system, and improve that.

New Relic is a great tool for application performance management and monitoring.

Competition Task Overview

The purpose of this contest is going to figure out the way to integrate New Relic with the JBoss Application Server 4.0.5 which is installed many EJB services for TopCoder Competition Engine, and showcase the capability of the New Relic by carrying out the whole process for SRM and MM contests.

JBoss Integration

Please read the official guides https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/java/new-relic-for-java#installation and https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/java/jboss-installation-for-java.

and document the clear steps to setup new relic for JBoss 4.0.5.

Showcase New Relic Capability

After setup, you are expected to carry out the steps for setuping and running SRM and MM contests. (The guides are provided in forum)

Check your New Relic account, and show us by screenshots and screencast about the capability of New Relic for Jboss monitoring.
