        - "& 'C:\\Program Files\\New Relic\\New Relic CLI\\newrelic.exe' install"
  - action: aws:runPowerShellScript

Create an SSM Docs on System Manager Select Command and Paste the script accordingly, The API Key and Account ID can be taken from the Install Script from your New Relic Console when using the Guided Install method.

Example Script:

curl -Ls https://download.newrelic.com/install/newrelic-cli/scripts/install.sh | bash && sudo NEW_RELIC_API_KEY={NRAK-Q6QNDxxxxxxxxxx}
NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID={323****}
NEW_RELIC_REGION=EU /usr/local/bin/newrelic install

API Key == NEW_RELIC_API_KEY AND Account ID == NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID

SSM Docs above are using US Region if you need to use EU Region you will need to update the “ExecuteInstaller” Steps to add the NEW_RELIC_REGION=EU before executing the Installer similar to the Example Script.

I gonna put this as a placeholder, later I will update this with more information if needed.
