Export your telemetry data with Python and the NerdGraph API

The third part of a five-part series on automating DevOps tasks in New Relic delves into exporting telemetry data using Python and the NerdGraph API, a GraphQL-format API that facilitates querying New Relic data. The post outlines steps for exporting data with New Relic Query Language (NRQL) and Python, emphasizing the importance of the Four Golden Signals—latency, traffic, errors, and saturation—as critical metrics for monitoring user-facing systems. It provides example queries for each signal type, illustrating how to group and analyze data over specified timeframes. The document also highlights prerequisites for following the tutorial, such as having Python 3 and a New Relic account, and offers a glimpse into the subsequent installment, which will focus on exporting dashboards for reporting. It underscores the role of Steve Ng, who focuses on various modern technologies and DevOps practices, and invites readers to engage further with New Relic through their Explorers Hub for questions and support.
