NRQL + Dynamic Baselines: Introducing NRQL Baseline Alerts!
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has integrated the flexibility of its New Relic Query Language (NRQL) with Dynamic Baselining technology, allowing users to monitor and alert on anomalous behavior in time-series metrics derived from NRQL queries. This enhancement, known as NRQL Baseline Alerts, leverages historical data to set dynamic alert thresholds that adapt to trends and patterns, offering minute-scale granularity to capture short-lived anomalies. Users can create precise alerts, reducing guesswork and improving performance monitoring by combining NRQL's querying capabilities with dynamic baseline features. Available to New Relic Pro subscribers, this tool provides a sophisticated mechanism for detecting unusual activities, such as unexpected pageview fluctuations, by setting dynamic thresholds rather than static ones. The approach also includes an ensemble method for automatic algorithm selection, ensuring optimal performance. Nate Heinrich, the product manager at New Relic, highlights the potential for diverse use cases tailored to specific customer segments and performance indicators, encouraging users to explore the extensive possibilities offered by NRQL Baseline Alerts.
