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
masterAccountName

Name of the parent account (also known as the master account) that's either responsible for stored events, or that is the parent of the consuming account.

When a parent account is the consuming account, masterAccountName is the same as consumingAccountName. This attribute is present even for accounts that don't have a parent account. This is to ensure continued reporting if the account is later made a parent account.
