New Relic is committed to the security of our customers and their data. We believe that providing coordinated disclosure by security researchers and engaging with the security community are important means to achieve our security goals.

This Open Source Software can be used in a large number of environments, all of which have their own quirks and best practices. As such, while we are happy to provide documentation and assistance for unmodified Open Source Software, we cannot provide support for your specific environment.
Before we can accept a pull request, you must sign our Contributor Licensing Agreement, if you have not already done so. This grants us the right to use your code under the same Apache 2.0 license as we use for this project in general.
Minimally, the test suite must pass for us to accept a PR. Ideally, we would love it if you also added appropriate tests if you’re implementing a feature!
Our code base is formatted according to black and linted with flake8.
The Telemetry SDK uses tox for testing. The repository uses doctests in src/ and tests in tests/.
You can run all of these tests, and verify that your code is formatted correctly by running:
tox -epy,lint
