Now Available: The New Relic Infrastructure StatsD Integration
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has announced the general availability of its integration with StatsD, a popular tool for collecting and analyzing application metrics, now accessible to New Relic Infrastructure Pro subscribers. This integration allows users to monitor metrics sent to StatsD from New Relic Insights, utilizing a flexible rule system to categorize and visualize data using New Relic Query Language (NRQL). StatsD, initially developed by Etsy, aggregates application metrics and can now send this data to New Relic Infrastructure, enabling users to track, trend, manage, and alert on these metrics effectively. The blog illustrates how to set up and test this integration on a Linux-based server, emphasizing the potential of tracking a wide range of metrics. This integration exemplifies New Relic's commitment to expanding its monitoring capabilities, with additional integrations like Redis and Apache available, inviting users to explore and manage their metrics through this enhanced platform.
