Hey everyone! Welcome to the
This is a post that highlights all of the brain power and team spirit that happens in this online community.
Thank you to all of our members that jump in tho help—this week and always! Read below to find out what everyone has been up to this past week!
@bruno.vieira shares his solution to ignore a transaction here:
Hey Stefan,
Every time I make a change I have to redeploy the application on google app engine so it runs a new application. I don`t know how I can restart the APM agent besides that.
update:
I tried using the annotation and the request parameter, none worked. However , using newrelic agent and the methods NewRelic.ignoreApdex(); NewRelic.ignoreTransaction(); inside my health method did work.
@a.ardusso updates us all on this linux question with his solution:
I had the same error as you. For me it resolved deleting the pid file /var/run/newrelic/nrsysmond.pid
Probably the startup procedure checks if the pid file exists, in which case it does not want to start.
@stefan_garnham jumps in this alerting on NRQL question:
Hi @erwandf - You can achieve this by using a Billboard chart . Set the warning and critical values to change it yellow and red.
@philweber and @anmezick share what is on their e-commerce dashboards:
I am not a retailer, but here is a re-creation of a customer dashboard I saw at FutureStack:
[image]
The upper chart uses the following query to measure the effect of page load time on conversion rate; it shows the number of successful purchase transactions when page load is < 5 seconds vs. >= 5 seconds:
SELECT
filter(count(*), WHERE name = 'controller/storefront/pay' AND duration < 5) AS 'Page Load Time < 5',
filter(count(*), WHERE name = 'controller/storefront/pay' AND duration >= 5) …
and we always love when @shoffman jumps in to help!
Hello-
Every transaction will be stored as a unique event associated with each of the apps the agent is configured to report data to - in your case, two events are stored in Insights for every transaction. There are two main approaches you can take to reduce your Insights data count:
[Recommended] Turn off event capture for specific apps. Account admins can easily do this through the Manage Data page within Insights. This would not require any changes to your existing app_name configuration,…
Be sure to check out this Synthetics from Synthetics Product Manager @jmarcel :
Tell me more!
At ~9:00 AM PST on 9.20.2017, Synthetics upgraded its default runtime for all newly created non-ping monitors to use the following:

In addition, all external and internal node dependencies have been upgraded to the latest version.
Why the change?
This is a sig…
and @rmusser ’s post on measuring a file download in Synthetics is a fun read, too:
There are two types of file downloads that this technique may work for:
A file that is downloaded after clicking a button on a website.
A file that is force downloaded upon hitting a URL.
The underlying technique for measuring the files is the same, so I'm going to walk through a single example.
STEP 1
You're going to need to import the fs module in order to help you traverse the file system:
var fs = require('fs');
STEP 2
Get familiar with recording custom attributes from within a syn…
