Secrets of a NRQL Wizard

Kevin Scaldeferri, a Principal Software Engineer at New Relic, explores the advanced capabilities of the New Relic Query Language (NRQL) for querying and analyzing data collected from applications. By providing various tips and tricks, he demonstrates how users can disguise, ignore, transform, and facet data, as well as use unexpected combinations and advanced mathematical functions in their queries. Scaldeferri emphasizes the versatility of NRQL in reshaping data displays, grouping data by different axes, and applying statistical functions, all while assuming a foundational understanding of NRQL's syntax and components. He encourages users to experiment with these techniques to gain deeper insights into their data and to share their findings in the New Relic Explorers Hub, although he notes that his views are personal and not necessarily those of New Relic.
