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

StorageSample

Data source:

StorageSample event represents a single storage device associated with a server. Each sample gathers descriptive information about the device, the type of file system it uses, and its current usage and capacity. New Relic samples this data every 20 seconds for each mounted file system and packages it into a StorageSample event, then sends the raw data to New Relic's collectors.

Attribute nameDefinitionData types
agentName

The name of the agent (Infrastructure).

agentVersion

The version of the New Relic Infrastructure agent.

avgQueueLen
count

The average disk queue length derived from (Disk Transfers/sec) * (Disk secs/Transfer).

This metric is only available for the Windows Infrastructure agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

This value coincides with the following Windows Performance counter:

\LogicalDisk(<drive letter>)\Avg. Disk Queue Length

avgReadQueueLen
count

The average disk read queue length derived from (Disk Reads/sec) * (Disk secs/Read).

This metric is only available for the Windows Infrastructure agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

This value coincides with the following Windows Performance counter:

\LogicalDisk(<drive letter>)\Avg. Disk Read Queue Length

avgWriteQueueLen
count

The average disk write queue length derived from (Disk Writes/sec) * (Disk secs/Write)

This metric is only available for the Windows Infrastructure agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

This value coincides with the following Windows Performance counter:

\LogicalDisk(<drive letter>)\Avg. Disk Write Queue Length

criticalViolationCount
count

The number of times that alert conditions violated critical thresholds, causing critical violations and opening incidents. If this attribute does not exist on the sample, it has zero violations.

currentQueueLen
count

Length of the disk queue at the time of sampling.

This metric is only available for the Windows Infrastructure Agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

This value coincides with the following Windows Performance counter:

\LogicalDisk(<drive letter>)\Current Disk Queue Length

device

The device name.

diskFreeBytes
bytes (B)

The cumulative disk space that is free across all supported devices. (To find per-device values, use StorageSample events.)

diskFreePercent
percentage (%)

The cumulative disk emptiness percentage across all supported devices. To find per-device values, use StorageSample events.

diskTotalBytes
bytes (B)

The cumulative total disk space across all supported devices. To find per-device values, use StorageSample events.

diskUsedBytes
bytes (B)

The cumulative disk space used across all supported devices, in bytes. To find per-device values, use StorageSample events.

diskUsedPercent
percentage (%)

The cumulative disk fullness percentage across all supported devices. To find per-device values, use StorageSample events.

entityAndMountPoint
ID

A unique identifier concatenating the entityId and mountPoint attributes.

entityID
ID

New Relic's unique ID number for the entity that is reporting data. This is used by New Relic to distinguish between customers and their entities.

filesystemType

The operating system's specific file system type. For example: xfs or ext4.

fullHostname

The fully qualified (DNS) hostname.

hostname

The short version of the entity's name.

inodesFree
count

The number of free inodes.

This metric is only available for the Linux Infrastructure Agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

inodesTotal
count

The number of total available inodes.

This metric is only available for the Linux Infrastructure Agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

inodesUsed
count

The number of inodes in use.

This metric is only available for the Linux Infrastructure Agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

inodesUsedPercent
percentage (%)

The number of inodes in use as a fraction of the total.

This metric is only available for the Linux Infrastructure Agent, version 1.5.0 or higher.

isReadOnly

If the system is set to be read-only, this value will be true, otherwise false. These values are string literals, not booleans, to allow for faceting.

kernelVersion

The Linux kernel version, in string format.

This attribute is available only for systems on a Linux platform.

linuxDistribution

The name of the Linux distribution the server is using.

This attribute is available only for systems on a Linux platform.

mountPoint

The location of the device in the operating system's file system.

operatingSystem

The operating system on which the agent is installed.

readBytesPerSecond
bytes (B)

The number of bytes read per second from the device during the last sampling period.

readIoPerSecond

The average number of read I/O operations per second during the sampling period.

readUtilizationPercent
percentage (%)

The percent of totalUtilizationPercent dedicated to read I/O operations.

timestamp

The time (date, hour, minute, second) at which the interaction occurred.

totalUtilizationPercent
percentage (%)

The percent of time spent waiting for read or write disk I/O operations.

warningViolationCount
count

The number of times that alert conditions violated warning thresholds, causing warning violations.

windowsFamily

The Windows family indicates whether the OS is a server or desktop targeted system.

This attribute is available only for systems on a Windows platform.

windowsPlatform

The full product name of the installed version of Windows.

This attribute is available only for systems on a Windows platform.

windowsVersion

The combined Windows version and build-number string of the OS.

This attribute is available only for systems on a Windows platform.

writeBytesPerSecond
bytes (B)

The number of bytes per second written to the device during the last sampling period.

writeIoPerSecond

The average number of write I/O operations per second during the sample period.

writeUtilizationPercent
percentage (%)

The percent of totalUtilizationPercent dedicated to write I/O operations.
