Overview

Use Observability Pipelines’ New Relic destination to send logs to New Relic.

Setup

Configure the New Relic destination when you set up a pipeline. You can set up a pipeline in the UI, using the API, or with Terraform. The steps in this section are configured in the UI.

For Secrets Management: Only enter the identifiers for the account ID and license. Do not enter the actual values.
If you enter secret identifiers and then choose to use environment variables, the environment variable is the identifier entered and prepended with DD_OP_. For example, if you entered PASSWORD_1 for a password identifier, the environment variable for that password is DD_OP_PASSWORD_1.

After you select the New Relic destination in the pipeline UI:

  1. Enter the identifier for your account ID. If you leave it blank, the default is used.
  2. Enter the identifier for your license. If you leave it blank, the default is used.
  3. Select the data center region (US or EU) of your New Relic account.

Optional buffering

Toggle the switch to enable Buffering Options. Enable a configurable buffer on your destination to ensure intermittent latency or an outage at the destination doesn’t create immediate backpressure, and allow events to continue to be ingested from your source. Disk buffers can also increase pipeline durability by writing data to disk, ensuring buffered data persists through a Worker restart. See Destination buffers for more information.

  • If left unconfigured, your destination uses a memory buffer with a capacity of 500 events.
  • To configure a buffer on your destination:
    1. Select the buffer type you want to set (Memory or Disk).
    2. Enter the buffer size and select the unit.
      1. Maximum memory buffer size is 128 GB.
      2. Maximum disk buffer size is 500 GB.
    3. In the Behavior on full buffer dropdown menu, select whether you want to block events or drop new events when the buffer is full.

Secret defaults

These are the defaults used for secret identifiers and environment variables.

  • New Relic account ID identifier:
    • The default identifier is DESTINATION_NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID.
  • New Relic license identifier:
    • The default identifier is DESTINATION_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY.
  • New Relic account ID:
    • The default environment variable is DD_OP_DESTINATION_NEW_RELIC_ACCOUNT_ID.
  • New Relic license:
    • The default environment variable is DD_OP_DESTINATION_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY.

How the destination works

Event batching

A batch of events is flushed when one of these parameters is met. See event batching for more information.
