New public APIs
- Public APIs are now available for parsing and pipeline configuration, such as drop filters. For more information, try out NerdGraph, our GraphQL-format API explorer, at api.newrelic.com/graphiql. Also see our NerdGraph parsing rules tutorial and drop data tutorial.
Headerless HTTP ingest
- Added support for headerless HTTP log ingest. This enables Logs customers to send data to New Relic from sources that do not permit the customization of HTTP request headers (for example,
Api-KeyorX-License-Key). This approach is most often used when forwarding logs from cloud-based platforms.
More data, more power
- Increased maximum attribute value size. The Logs team recognizes that keeping all data from a log is extremely important, and so we are providing additional functionality to store more data and reduce the chances of truncation. Attributes can now store and display up to 128 kb, the first 4096 bytes of which are searchable. For more information, see our documentation about finding data in long logs (blobs) and the Log Event API.
- Added ARM support to our Helm-based Kubernetes integration.
Bug fixes
- Fixed several styling issues in Logs UI.
- Corrected typos on Add Your Data page.
Notes
In partnership with our customers, the New Relic log team has been rapidly innovating our log management capabilities since the initial release in 2019. Our goal is to give you the best log experience to advance observability and provide measurable impact to your business.

New public APIs
- In addition to the logs UI for data partition management, you can now use our public API. Data partitions help you query more efficiently by scanning less unrelated data and returning results faster. To get started, see our NerdGraph tutorial.
- Parsing rules are also publicly accessible via the Log API. We already provide built-in parsing rulesets to facet or filter logs in useful ways. This in turn helps you build better charts and alerts.
- If you can't use log forwarders when collecting logs from CDNs, hardware devices, or managed services, you can use
syslogprotocols via a TCP endpoint.
Bug fixes
- Fixed link to see logs from the Fluentd forwarder.
- Fixed crash when browsing after using a saved view.
- Fixed scenario where logs in context for distributed tracing wouldn't work.
Changes
- Because of intermittent Fluent Bit build failures, SUSE will no longer be a supported platform for the infrastructure agent's log forwarder. We are working on adding SUSE support in the next six months.
