New Relic data dictionary

This data dictionary defines some of our default-reported data stored in NRDB and queryable via NRQL. This includes events like Transaction, MobileRequest, and BrowserInteraction, and our Metric, Log, and Span data types. These definitions are also available from our query builder UI by mousing over applicable data type and attribute names.

This dictionary doesn't contain:

  • Data from our infrastructure integrations (for that, see docs for a specific integration)
  • Custom data
  • Detailed integration-specific attributes for Metric data

NrDailyUsage

Data source:

Once per day, New Relic products generate a NrDailyUsage event. Use the productLine attribute to identify and filter for the specific product's usage.

apmComputeUnitRule

Describes the algorithm used to calculate the host size for CU usage.

Values include:

  • agent_collected_calculated_data: Use the host size data collected by the agent from the OS environment.
  • cloud_provider_data: Use the host size data from the cloud provider.
  • missing_data: Some host size data was missing. This could be due to an older agent that doesn't support reporting CPU and memory sizes, or an agent and OS combination for which CPU and memory sizes are not supported. This will result in the default host size (16) being applied.
