Reviewing Dashboard
Now that you've set up your New Relic account, it's time to review your dashboard. Your account will be collecting data and monitoring your server, so you should be able to see your server metrics and any additional monitors you've installed.
In the "APM & Services" section, you can track your general purpose web application's metrics, including error rates, logs, and set alerts to notify you in case of a failure.
Your website can take advantage of "Browser" monitoring functionality, which tracks your website's Core Web Vitals.
To get started, log in to your New Relic dashboard and run the installation command provided, which will look something like this:
You'll be able to see your server metrics and additional monitors in your dashboard, giving you a clear picture of your server's performance.
Resource Management
Resource management is a crucial aspect of New Relic status. You can manage various resources through the New Relic platform, including resource groups, regions, subscriptions, and tags.
To get started, you can access the Get started tab, which provides deep links to New Relic dashboards, logs, and alerts. This tab is a great way to quickly access the information you need.
The Monitoring tab provides a summary of the resources that send logs and metrics to New Relic. You can view a table with information about the Azure resources that are sending logs and metrics to New Relic by selecting Monitored resources.
Here's a breakdown of the columns in the table:
Monitor Azure VM Scale Sets
To monitor Azure VM Scale Sets, you can install the New Relic agent as an extension. This allows you to track the performance of your virtual machine scale sets in the New Relic account config.
Select Virtual Machine Scale Sets under New Relic account config in the Resource menu to view a list of all virtual machine scale sets in the subscription. You'll see a list of all your scale sets in the working pane.
Use native integration to install the agent on both uniform and flexible scale-sets. The new instances of a scale set, in any mode, receive the agent extension during scale-up.
Virtual Machine Scale Sets resources in a uniform orchestration mode support Automatic, Rolling, and Manual upgrade policy. Resources in Flexible orchestration mode only support manual upgrade.
To upgrade instances manually, go to the VM extensions Resource menu or select Instances from the Resource menu under specific Virtual Machine Scale Sets. This will allow you to install the agent extension on pre-existing VM instances.
If a manual upgrade policy is set for a resource, the agent status will show as Partially Installed.
Resource Overview
In the resource overview, you can find a wealth of information about your resources. This includes resource group, region, subscription, tags, New Relic account, New Relic organization, status, pricing plan, and billing term.
Resource group is a crucial part of resource management, as it helps you organize and categorize your resources. To access this information, simply click on the resource overview tab.
A list of resources is available in the resource overview, including resource group, region, subscription, tags, New Relic account, New Relic organization, status, pricing plan, and billing term.
Here are the specific details you can find in the resource overview:
- Resource group
- Region
- Subscription
- Tags
- New Relic account
- New Relic organization
- Status
- Pricing plan
- Billing term
The Get started tab provides deep links to New Relic dashboards, logs, and alerts. This is a great way to quickly access the information you need to manage your resources effectively.
Statuspage Integration
To get started with integrating Statuspage into New Relic, you'll need to obtain your Organizational API keys and Statuspage Page ID from the Statuspage API info page.
You can find this information by logging into Statuspage, selecting your Profile icon, and then clicking on API info.
First, create a synthetic scripted API test in New Relic, which will periodically make a request to the Statuspage API.
To do this, input the following code, making sure to include your secure Statuspage API key and Page ID, and using environment variables as instructed.
This code sends a request to the Statuspage component endpoint to get the status of each component group and its components, which is already JSON-formatted, making it easy to parse and use as attributes in New Relic.
With free and standard accounts, you'll need to plan accordingly, as you'll need to do fewer requests to the Statuspage API, and you can learn more about pricing on the Synthetics page.
Data Visualization
You can visualize Statuspage data in New Relic by selecting All Capabilities from the left-hand menu and then selecting Query Your Data.
This allows you to run queries to see the component name and status of each component, just like Statuspage. To see the component name and status, run a query with group=true.
You can also use this query to see the same data as component groups on Statuspage. To do this, run a query with group=false.
To create alerts that trigger when pages are no longer operational, you'll want to use the statuses that Statuspage uses for alerting. These statuses include operational, degraded performance, partial outage, major outage, and under maintenance.
Here are the statuses used for alerting in a list:
- operational
- degraded performance
- partial outage
- major outage
- under maintenance
You can create a dashboard that reflects the total uptime of your components as a percentage by running a query that calculates this value. This allows you to easily see how your components are performing over time.
