New Relic Data Stream Parameters

The New Relic plugin provides configurable data streams that allow you to query and visualize different types of telemetry data from your New Relic account.

Each configurable data stream exposes a set of parameters that lets you filter the data you retrieve. The following information describes the available configurable data streams and their parameters in detail.

Events

Returns New Relic events for the entities in scope. Event key decides which kind of event, such as an infrastructure or an alert event.

Parameter	Description
Event key	Specify the type of event you want to retrieve (e.g. `InfrastructureEvent`, `NetworkSample`, `NrUsage`).

Logs (by Attribute)

Returns log records for a scoped host, narrowed to a single attribute and value. Use it to pull out one class of log rather than everything the host emits.

Parameter	Description
Attribute	Specify the log field you want to filter by (e.g. `EventCategory`, `hostStatus`, `fullHostname`).
Value	Provide the value to match for the selected attribute (e.g. `12544` for `EventCategory`).

Metric TimeSeries

Returns a metric averaged into a series across the timeframe, ready to plot on a line or area tile.

Parameter	Description
Metric key	Specify the name of the metric to query (e.g. `CPU/Utilization`, `Memory/UsedBytes`).

NRQL Query

Returns the result of a New Relic Query Language query. Use it to reach data the other New Relic data streams do not cover.

Parameter	Description
NRQL query	Enter a valid NRQL statement (e.g., `SELECT average(cpuPercent) FROM SystemSample SINCE 30 minutes ago`).
