Set Up Google Cloud AI Credentials
- Navigate to the Google Cloud Console: Google Cloud Console
- Enable the APIs you need, such as the Cloud Vision API, Natural Language API, or others.
- Go to "Credentials" and select "Create credentials" to set up a new service account key. Be sure to download the JSON key file as you will need this for accessing the API.
Install Required Libraries
- Ensure you have Python installed as we will be using Python for demonstration. Use the following command to install the necessary Google Cloud library:
pip install google-cloud
Create a New Relic Account and Set it Up
- Sign up for a New Relic account if you do not have one: New Relic Registration.
- Install the New Relic agent appropriate for your platform, be it for applications, server environment, or infrastructure monitoring.
- Follow the installation instructions specific to your setup. For a simple Python application, you might do:
pip install newrelic
Configure New Relic
- Use your New Relic license key to configure your applications. Modify the configuration file (usually `newrelic.ini`) with your application name and license key:
[common]
app_name = My Application Name
license_key = YOUR_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY
Integrate Google Cloud AI with New Relic
- Create a script or service to interact with Google Cloud AI APIs using the credentials JSON key you downloaded earlier.
- Import the needed libraries and set up the service as follows for a Python application:
from google.cloud import vision
import newrelic.agent
newrelic.agent.initialize('newrelic.ini')
def detect_text(image_path):
client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient.from_service_account_json('path/to/your/credentials.json')
with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file:
content = image_file.read()
image = vision.Image(content=content)
response = client.text_detection(image=image)
annotations = response.text_annotations
return annotations
Send Custom Events or Metrics to New Relic
- Create custom events in New Relic to monitor specific data points from Google Cloud AI services:
def report_custom_event(annotations):
# This function logs custom events to New Relic
for annotation in annotations:
newrelic.agent.record_custom_event('GoogleCloudAI', {
'description': annotation.description,
'vertices': annotation.bounding_poly.vertices
})
Deploy & Monitor
- Deploy your integration to your environment.
- Monitor how data flows from Google Cloud AI to New Relic by checking the New Relic dashboard for custom events or metrics.
- Refine based on insights and any bottlenecks or anomalies.
