Syntax
+ (NSString*) startInteractionWithName:(NSString*)interactionName;Starts an interaction trace.
Requirements
Compatible with all agent versions.
Description
This method will start an interaction trace using interactionName as the name. The interaction will record all instrumented methods until a timeout occurs or stopCurrentInteraction is called.
For context on how to use this API, see the documentation about interaction traces:
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
string | Required. The name of the interaction trace. |
Return values
If startInteractionWithName is called, the return value is an interactionIdentifier that must be passed to stopCurrentInteraction . But it's not required to call stopCurrentInteraction after calling start because startInteractionWithName will eventually complete intelligently.
Examples
Objective-C
Example:
NSString *identifier = [NewRelic startInteractionWithName: @"myInteractionName"];[NewRelic stopCurrentInteraction: identifier];Swift
Example:
let identifier = NewRelic.startInteraction(withName: "myInteractionName")NewRelic.stopCurrentInteraction(identifier)
