Analyze network requests using MobileRequest event data

Monitoring HTTP and network requests gives you insight into how your app is performing and provides data that can help you improve your app. To find HTTP and network requests and errors, you can view them in the Mobile monitoring UI or query MobileRequest and MobileRequestError events in Insights.

Enable MobileRequest for earlier versions of iOS and Android

MobileRequest data is enabled by default for:

• Android version 5.15.2 or higher
• iOS version 6.0.0 or higher

For earlier versions, starting with Android version 5.14.0 or iOS version 5.14.0, you must enable the feature. Upgrade to the latest Android or iOS version, or add the following feature flag to your app, before the New Relic start call:

Enable for Android

Place the feature flag before the start call in the onCreate method of the MainActivity class.

NewRelic.enableFeature(FeatureFlag.NetworkRequests);
NewRelic.withApplicationToken("NEW_RELIC_TOKEN").start(this.getApplication());

Enable for iOS

Place the feature flag before the start call which should be the first line of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method.

Objective-C

[NewRelic enableFeatures:NRFeatureFlag_NetworkRequestEvents]
[NewRelic startWithApplicationToken:@"NEW_RELIC_TOKEN"]

Swift

NewRelic.enableFeatures(NRMAFeatureFlags.NRFeatureFlag_NetworkRequestEvents)
NewRelic.start(withApplicationToken:"NEW_RELIC_TOKEN")
