Configure the New Relic Gradle plugin

The New Relic Gradle plugin extension allows you to configure the behavior of plugin tasks executed during Gradle builds. Create a plugin extension in the Gradle build files that apply the New Relic plugin, then add any of the following configuration options:

Config option	Description
`variantMapsEnabled`	Generate unique build IDs for each app variant. Default: `true`
`uploadMapsForVariant`	Specify which variant build types should report ProGuard maps to New Relic. Default: `Release`
`excludeVariantInstrumentation`	Exclude specific variants from instrumentation during builds. Default: 'None'
`excludePackageInstrumentation`	Exclude specific classes whose package name starts with or includes class name patterns from instrumentation during builds. This feature can help when encountering sensitive or problematic class data. Default: 'None' Supported when used with Gradle 7.4 and higher.

Here are some simple examples showing how to apply plugin configuration options to the agent:

To configure the plugin with default values:

newrelic {
    // use a common buildId for all variants (default: true)
    variantMapsEnabled true

    // Tag and report Proguard maps for these build types (default: Release)
    uploadMapsForVariant("Release")

    // instrument all variants
    excludeVariantInstrumentation("")

    // Exclude sample classes from instrumentation (regexp supported)
    excludePackageInstrumentation("")
}

You can specificy multiple package patterns, separated by commas, with support for Regexp patterns:

newrelic {
    // Don't instrument sample classes
    excludePackageInstrumentation("com.sample", "org.bouncycastle.*")
}
