Disable NR everywhere asap to reduce costs

[robrap]

We should disable NR everywhere to reduce costs. Targeting the biggest problems first is probably best, but we also don't want the slow leak of money either.

• Disabling NR APM causes trace concatenation in Datadog #692 (hack should take care of edxapp - in-progress)
  • Note: Disabling edxapp will make the rest more clear.
  • We were able to stop edxapp from reporting data to NR, so the costs side of this issue is complete. (There are other problems that that issue still covers.)
• See Slack thread for some of the biggest culprits for frontend.
• We can get updated numbers from Data Management (may need Admin) in NR.

Notes:

• As of June 26, the following spreadsheet has us spending about $350/day on NR storage.
• The Data Mangement page provides NRQL for each section. More NRQL could be provided, or we could make our own dashboard. For example:

SELECT bytecountestimate()/10e8 FROM `Metric` WHERE instrumentation.provider != 'kentik' AND instrumentation.provider != 'pixie' FACET CASES (WHERE newrelic.source = 'agent' AS 'Metric Time Slices', WHERE newrelic.source != 'agent' OR newrelic.source IS NULL AS 'Dimensional Metrics') SINCE 1 hour ago

Or

SELECT bytecountestimate()/10e8 FROM `Metric` WHERE newrelic.source = 'agent' AND instrumentation.provider != 'kentik' AND instrumentation.provider != 'pixie' FACET appName LIMIT 15 SINCE 1 hour ago

@spencertiberi: This could get your support for some of the follow-up with other teams to help disable things.

Costs reduced enough that we can push this out further. Remaining work is lower priority.

We are no longer concerned about costs. Closing this for now.
