Four Golden Signals of Monitoring
Building APM with New Relic:
Step-by-step guide to building APM for your application from scratch.
APM Service Monitoring:
Monitoring Transactions, Traces, and Errors, including .NET Core API and SQL service layer.
New Relic AI usage
Discover how New Relic AI (NRAI) simplifies observability tasks across your system, from generating queries to analyzing error logs and suggesting tailored dashboard insights, with just a click.
APM Services:
Database monitoring, distributed tracing, and triaging errors.
Adding custom metrics and custom exceptions to transactions
Creating Alerts:
Setting up alerts for request latency, error rate, specific API endpoints, SQL query duration, and host data reporting.
We will undestand basic Definitions, Policies, Conditions, Workflows, Destinations, Incidents and Issues.
Creating Postmortem after issue close
Synthetic Monitoring:
Performing API and availability alerting with notification using GET/Post methods.
Creating Dashboards:
Designing dashboards with widgets for response time, error rate, AppDex, host graph usage, service map usage, and applying formulas.
Pre-build dashboards and variable usages
New Relic Agent Installations and Configurations:
Installing agents, configuring settings, and querying basic metrics.
Understanding SLA, SLO, SLI, and Error Budget:
Creating New Relic SLO/SLI for success rate (DevOps).
SLA Reports
Integration with Emails and Slack:
Integrating monitors with emails and Slack for streamlined communication.
Monitoring Application Aspects:
Tracking availability, reliability, scalability, and duration.
Visualizing Request Paths:
Visualizing the entire request path to identify bottlenecks and errors quickly.
Administration:
Managing user preferences, plan usage, data usage, and access management
