[katello-devel] ZenTest

[David Davis]

So I did some research into newrelic and logical-insight. First of all, neither works by just following the web profiling wiki page. I was able to get newrelic working after about an hour of hacking. logical-insight on the other hand, I can't get to work and it looks like it's going to be a lost cause since it hasn't been maintained in almost a year and it doesn't support Ruby 1.9 and/or Rails 3.2.

I think newrelic would be worth keeping but Petr had a suggestion to turn it on/off using katello.yml. I think this is a good idea as long as we default it to "off".

My recommendation would be:

1 - Get newrelic working and update the wiki page.
2 - Have a configuration variable for newrelic. Default to off.
3 - Remove logical-insight from the project completely. There's not much config for logical-insight anyway so no huge loss there.
