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

NrAiSignal

Data source:

NrAiSignal shows details from every NRQL alert condition and every signal on your account, for every aggregation window that passes. This data is posted immediately after each aggregation window is aggregated and evaluated, so it will show you exactly what our alerts are seeing.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
resetCause

For reset events only. Available values:

  • new: It's a new signal coming online.
  • expired: Signal reset due to loss of signal configuration.
  • conditionDisabled: The user disabled the condition in the UI.
  • delayedEvaluation: The condition has a delayed evaluation configured. Therefore, New Relic sends resets through the system to prevent evaluation before the expected time.
  • suppression: Because of an ongoing incident, alerts are suppressed.
  • interrupt: When we detect issues, we internally interrupt our services. Issues are mainly out-of-order data points that can cause false alerts.
  • conditionDeleted: The user has deleted the condition in the UI.
  • conditionModified: The user has modified the condition in a way that requires re-registration on our side.
  • policyDeleted: Deleted the entire policy.
  • user: The user has closed the incident manually in the UI.
