NewRelic collects the data through agent.
Agent types
The process of installation, configuration, and instrumentation can vary depending on the service you want to collect data from.
- APM Agent (For server side application)
- Browser agent (For browser application)
- Mobile agent (For mobile application)
- Infrastructure agent (For hosts)
Other ways:
- OpenTelemetry
- API’s (Call NewRelic data ingest APIs to send metrics, events, logs or trace data to complete your instrumentation)
- On-host integration (Add further instrumentation with NewRelic Oon-host integrations and capture data from cloud environments, databases, or on-host services.)
- Logs (Forward logs to New Relic using forwarders, plugins, or our Infrastructure agent)
- Kubernetes integration (Helps figure out how to use Kubernetes in different ways, whether they’re hosted on-premises or in the cloud)
- New Relic aims to have first-class support for OpenTelemetry and has a wide variety of platform capabilities that make it easy to use OpenTelemetry tools.
NRDB (New Relic Database) is New Relic’s proprietary high-performance, cloud-native database designed to store and analyze massive amounts of telemetry data in real time. It underpins New Relic’s observability platform, enabling users to query, visualize, and derive insights from metrics, events, logs, and traces.
