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

PageViewTiming

Data source:

This event represents individual timing events during a page view lifecycle (for example, time when the largest element is displayed, or the first user interaction with the page). See the PageViewTiming docs for a list of reported events.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
firstInteraction
seconds (s)

First interaction is a timing that captures when customers begin to engage with a website, such as clicking a button or typing in a box. The first interaction timing is rounded down to the nearest second. This attribute only occurs when the value of the timingName attribute is firstInteraction.

Events are handled at the document level with addEventListener(). Clicking an empty page will cause an interaction to fire. Valid event type values include:

  • pointerdown
  • mousedown
  • click
  • keydown
  • touchstart

Note that this attribute represents the time of the event; to know which event triggered it, use interactionType.

For more information, see the PageViewTiming documentation.
