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

Metric

Data source:

Represents a metric data point (a measurement over a range of time, or a sample at a specific point in time) with multiple attributes attached, which allow for in-depth analysis and querying. This metric data comes from our Metric API, our Telemetry SDKs, network performance monitoring, and some of our open-source exporters/integrations.
