Every New Relic agent includes strong safeguards to ensure data security. For example, New Relic automatically encrypts sensitive information before it is transmitted. For more information about New Relic's security measures, see our security and privacy documentation, or visit the New Relic security website.
If you need to record and view information about all data your app transmits to New Relic, you can enable audit logging for short periods of time. This is useful, for example, with debugging or auditing, when you need detailed information about what exactly is being transmitted.
Caution
Be sure to disable audit logging as soon as you are finished using it. This feature causes additional overhead, which may overload the audit log file if left turned on for extended periods of time.

Infrastructure agent logging
You can generate infrastructure monitoring logs for troubleshooting our infrastructure agent.
New Relic account-related logging
To audit changes to your New Relic account, run NRQL queries with NrAuditEvent. To customize your query, use any of the available NrAuditEvent attributes.
