Monitor your Netlify sites with log drains and New Relic

Netlify is a web developer platform that enhances application performance by pre-rendering static content and decoupling services, but it lacks built-in long-term traffic log access and function log retention. To address this, users can utilize New Relic, a monitoring tool that connects to Netlify Log Drains, enabling the capture, analysis, and storage of web traffic and serverless function logs. This integration allows for detailed monitoring, visualization, and alerting based on performance data, aiding in application optimization and proactive issue resolution. New Relic offers long-term storage, user traffic monitoring, and user agent analytics, enriching the insights into user activity and security. While Netlify Enterprise accounts provide limited log storage, New Relic extends this capacity and offers an automated dashboard for visualizing key telemetry, thus facilitating a comprehensive log management solution for enhanced observability and application performance.
