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

ProcessSample

Data source:

ProcessSample event gathers detailed resource usage information from programs running on a single system. New Relic samples the data every 20 seconds for every active process and packages it into a ProcessSample event, which then sends the raw data to New Relic's collectors.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
containerLabel_KEY

For processes running inside a Docker container, the Docker label associated with this process.

Docker labels consist of key/value pairs. The key is captured in the attribute name as containerLabel_KEY, and the returned stringtype value is then associated with that attribute.

For example, to query a owner label for containers maintained by Test User:

SELECT cpuPercent FROM ProcessSample WHERE containerLabel_owner = 'Test User'
