Manage your metric cardinality with ease
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic introduces a new cardinality management UI aimed at addressing metric cardinality issues, which can lead to visible data gaps when daily limits are exceeded. The platform, known for its generous metric cardinality limits, still enforces reasonable restrictions to maintain system performance. The updated UI allows users to easily monitor account usage over time, understand metrics driving high cardinality, and manage attributes by pruning those with high cardinality to free up resources. This management interface simplifies previously complex tasks, enabling users to diagnose and resolve cardinality issues with a few clicks, enhancing control over data insights. While high cardinality allows for detailed analysis, it can challenge data volume and query performance, so New Relic's approach ensures optimized system functionality while retaining raw data for queries even when rollups are halted.
