I've found the recommended way to set up New Relic on a host (namely, running the New Relic CLI command so it does all the work for you) doesn't work in Arch, since it's not officially supported by New Relic.
Over the past several months I've been working on my own PKGBUILDs to get New Relic installed on my Arch VPS; I'm putting them all into the newrelic group. I'm now at a point where I'm comfortable publishing my PKGBUILDs to the AUR. My PKGBUILDs use the binary packages released on the various New Relic GitHub pages, at least wherever possible.
But that means at least one of my PGKBUILDs (i.e., newrelic-cli-bin, not published to the AUR at the moment) conflicts with this package. I think that's OK; the two can coexist in the AUR, and I set newrelic-cli-bin provides and conflicts with newrelic-cli in my PKGBUILD (so the two can't coexist if they're installed via makepkg/pacman on the same system). I don't think this older AUR package needs to be updated or removed; I'm just announcing it here as a courtesy.
My plans after this are to create two pages on the Arch Wiki: one for Observability, and one specifically for New Relic on Arch. I don't see any mention of New Relic on the Arch Wiki currently, so I'm not sure how one would use the AUR package newrelic-cli by itself to get a fully functional New Relic system working on Arch.
