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

NrMTDConsumption

Data source:

This event tracks your New Relic usage (data and billable users) and estimated cost across an entire calendar month. It generates aggregate values from the NrConsumption event.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
billableConsumption
count

The amount of billable consumption in the unit of pricing. For example, for Data Platform, billableConsumption is equal to GigabytesIngestedBillable. For Full Stack Observability, billableConsumption is equal to FullUsersBillable. Estimated cost is equal to billableConsumption multiplied by the unit price of the metric.

BytesIngested
bytes (B)

The number of bytes ingested by the consuming account via either an agent, a custom event API, or another integration.

consumption
count

The amount of consumption converted to the unit of pricing. For example, for Data Platform, consumption is equal to GigabytesIngested. For Full Stack Observability, consumption is equal to FullUsers. This attribute is useful if you want to see consumption faceted by productLine or other attribute.

CoreUsers
count

The number of core users.

CoreUsersBillable
count

The number of billable core users.

estimatedCost
count

A cost estimate based on your usage. This is an estimate, not an actual invoiced amount. To be deprecated in May of 2022.

freeConsumption
count

The amount of consumption that is within the consuming account's free limit.

freeLimit
count

The total amount of consumption included in the free limit. After consumption exceeds this amount billableConsumption begins to accumulate.

FullPlatformUsersBillable
count

The number of billable full platform users.

FullPlatformUsersFree
count

The number of full platform users within the free limit (if available).

FullUsers
count

The number of full platform users.

FullUsersBillable
count

The number of billable full platform users.

FullUsersFree
count

The number of full platform users within the free limit (if available).

GigabytesIngested
gigabyte (GB)

The amount of data ingested by the consuming account.

GigabytesIngestedBillable
count

The number of gigabytes ingested by the consuming account that exceed the free limit and are considered billable.

masterAccountId
ID

The ID 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, masterAccountId is the consumingAccountId. 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.

metric
enum

Consolidates multiple categories of usage into a single metric. Helpful when faceting by productLine.

month

The month and year during which the consumption occurred. Example: August 2020.

monthTimestamp

The timestamp of the month during which the consumption occurred.

productLine

The New Relic product the usage data is from. Use this attribute to identify / filter for product specific usage data.

timestamp

UNIX timestamp (seconds since epoch) of the day and time when event generation was initiated.
