Sending New Relic data to Datable
New Relic
Datable supports ingesting directly from New Relic application agents. To support the transition of customers from sending data directly to New Relic, Datable will defaults to proxying all New Relic data directly to New Relic, ensuring that data flow is not interrupted during initial onboarding and testing.
Redirecting data is configuring by either environment variables or configuration.
Environment variables:
yaml
NEW_RELIC_HOST: YOUR_DATABLE_HOST.dtbl.io
NEW_RELIC_PORT: 5401NEW_RELIC_HOST: YOUR_DATABLE_HOST.dtbl.io
NEW_RELIC_PORT: 5401Configuration file variables:
Both host and port need to be set in your newrelic.yml file.
yaml
host: YOUR_DATABLE_HOST.dtbl.io
port: 5401host: YOUR_DATABLE_HOST.dtbl.io
port: 5401If you’re using the New Relic agent, you can update your existing configuration with these variables. The most common places for these configurations is the newrelic-infra.yml or environment variables in the system your agent is running on, such as your Docker container, Kubernetes container, or bare EC2 instance. For more information on where to configure these settings, please review the New Relic infrastructure agent configuration documentation.
If you’re using New Relic APM agents, these settings can be configured in your New Relic configuration file (newrelic.yml, newrelic.js, newrelic.config, ect.) or via environment variables on your application container. For configuration information specific to your application’s language, see the New Relic APM agents configurations.
