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.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
insightsTotalEventCount
count

Count of all events stored for the given insightsEventNamespace as of the given day.

Sum of insightsIncludedEventCount and the number of events stored beyond the retention period included with a paid non-Insights product subscription. This attribute represents a count of events existing in storage as measured on a given day, and not a count of the events added to storage during a given day. Summing this attribute over a period of more than a day may not give you what you expect; for example, it will not yield the total volume of events written to storage in that period.
