New Relic data dictionary

This data dictionary lists and defines the attributes attached to New Relic events and other data objects (like Metric and Span data).

This dictionary does not contain data reported by Infrastructure integrations. To learn about that data, see the integration documentation.

TransactionError

Transaction errors occur when a transaction throws an exception in the code path that was taken to complete that transaction. The number of transaction errors does not equal the number of transactions, because you can specify whether you want to collect, ignore, or mark errors as expected.

Total attributes in this event: 52
Attribute name Summary
accountId The unique ID of the account associated with the service/application where the Transaction was created.
appId The unique numeric identifier assigned by New Relic for the service/app that generated the transaction.
appName The application name set in the New Relic agent configuration.
databaseCallCount The number of database calls made by this transaction.
databaseDuration The database response time in seconds.
duration The total server-side response time for the transaction, in seconds. Does not include request queueing time.
entityGuid The GUID, assigned by New Relic, for the New Relic-monitored entity (host, application, etc.). This value is stored as a Base64 encoded value. When querying logs, use entity.guids instead, which is a pipe-separated list of GUIDs.
error.class The class name or type for the error. This will be server and platform specific.
error.expected Determines whether an error is expected or not. Expected errors do not affect error rates or Apdex.
error.message The error message for the transaction. This will be server and platform specific.
errorType This will be server and platform specific. The class or classification of the error. If multiple errors occur, only the first will be shown. If an error occurs during a transaction, the error may skew the duration of the event.
eventLoopTime The time the transaction spent running the event loop. (Python agent only)
eventLoopWait Total time the transaction was running while blocked by an event loop process, subject to the threshold. (Python agent only)
externalCallCount The number of external calls made by this transaction.
externalDuration The total response time of all external (out-of-process) services, in seconds.
gcCumulative (Ruby and Java agents only) The total time spent in garbage collection during this transaction, in seconds.
guid The identifier for the transaction.
host The name of the application host that processed this request.
httpResponseCode The HTTP response code associated with the transaction.
memcacheDuration The memcache response time, in seconds.
parent.account If a distributed tracing payload is received, this is the account identifier for the transaction's upstream caller.
parent.app If a distributed tracing payload is received, this is the application identifier. APM agents retrieve this value in the connect response under the key primary_application_id.
parent.transportDuration When distributed tracing is enabled and a payload is received, the difference in time between the timestamp given for when the payload was sent and the moment it was processed.
parent.transportType When a distributed tracing payload is received, the method of transport for the payload. Example values: Unknown, HTTP, HTTPS, Kafka, JMS, IronMQ, AMQP, Queue, or Other.
parent.type If a distributed trace payload was received, the parent's data source type. Example values: App, Browser, Mobile.
parentId If a distributed trace payload was received, the guid of this parent transaction.
port The listening port of the transaction that generated the event. This information will not always be available, so this attribute may not always be reported.
priority Likelihood this event will be saved.
queueDuration The total time the requester waits for a service to initiate, in seconds.
realAgentId The ID of the New Relic agent that reported the data.
request.headers.accept The types as read from the HTTP Accept request header.
request.headers.contentLength Incoming request size in bytes as read from the Content-Length HTTP request header.
request.headers.contentType Incoming request content-type as read from the HTTP request header Content-Type. Example value: application/octet-stream.
request.headers.host The name from the HTTP host request header.
request.headers.referer The incoming request referer as read from the Referer request header.
request.headers.userAgent The contents of the User-Agent HTTP header.
request.method The HTTP request method used. Example values: POST, GET.
response.headers.contentLength The outgoing response size in bytes as read from the Content-Length response header.
response.headers.contentType For an HTTP response, the data type of the returned response. Example values: text/html, application/json.
response.status The HTTP response code associated with the transaction.
sampled Indicates whether this event was sampled for inclusion in a distributed trace. Only present when distributed tracing is enabled.
threadConcurrency A measure of "thread utilization", representing the number of threads handling concurrent requests.
timestamp The start time of the job in epoch milliseconds.
trace.id The unique ID (a randomly generated string) used to identify a single request as it crosses inter- and intra- process boundaries. This ID allows the linking of spans in a distributed trace. Included when distributed tracing is enabled.
traceId A unique ID (a randomly generated string) used to identify a single request as it crosses inter- and intra- process boundaries. This ID allows the linking of spans in a distributed trace. Included when distributed tracing is enabled.
transactionName Name of the transaction in which the error occurred. Example value: Controller/customers/show. Value may be 'Unknown' if an error occurs outside of a transaction.
transactionUiName The UI display name equivalent of transactionName.
wsgi.input.calls.read (Python agent only) The number of calls to read() by the WSGI server to handle request.
wsgi.input.calls.readline (Python agent only) The number of calls to readline() by the WSGI server to handle request.
wsgi.input.calls.readlines (Python agent only) The number of calls to readlines() by the WSGI server to handle request.
wsgi.output.calls.write (Python agent only) Number of calls to yield by the WSGI server to send response.
wsgi.output.calls.yield (Python agent only) Number of calls to yield by the WSGI server to send response.
