How to to disable NewRelic by configuration in.NET

Question

The NewRelic agent documentation for .NET says

You can also configure two settings in your app's config file: the application's name and a boolean flag to enable or disable the agent.

The first parameter is easy and documented :

<appSettings>
  <add key="NewRelic.AppName" value="MyApplicationName" />
</appSettings>

But I can't find the name of the parameter that is used to disable the agent.

Answer 1

You can use this tag:

<add key="NewRelic.AgentEnabled" value="true" />

Hope this helps

Answer 2

If you want to disable New Relic for all applications you can do the following:

<configuration xmlns="urn:newrelic-config"
  agentEnabled="false”
  maxStackTraceLines="50"
  timingPrecision="high">

Make sure to run an iisreset after making either change to make sure the change is picked up.
