Summary

New Relic Infrastructure provides real-time visibility into server metrics, allowing users to create custom dashboards using New Relic Insights, which stores its data in the New Relic Database (NRDB). By leveraging the NRQL query language, users can tailor charts for CPU usage, memory utilization, storage, network throughput, and running processes, making it easy to visualize server performance at a glance. The process involves executing specific NRQL queries to pull data from various system samples and then configuring dashboards to display key metrics such as CPU percentage, memory used, and recent system events. Additionally, users can filter dashboards to focus on individual servers, enhancing the monitoring capability for specific hosts. The article emphasizes the flexibility and ease of integrating and customizing data from New Relic Infrastructure into Insights to create informative and actionable dashboards.
