Tagging in the Nerdgraph API to replace Labels

Synthetics Question Template

We use Synthetic monitors and attach labels to allow us to filter in the UI

The Labels API was depreciated this week and I am exploring the new tag API in NerdGraph. But I don’t seem to be able to repeat the same behaviour.

When I add a “tag” to a synthetic monitor, it is not being displayed as a “label” or “category” in the Synthetics view.

However if I go into New Relic One, I can see a tag has been successfully created. As a test I added “Application:assessments”

To do this I used this mutation:
mutation {
taggingAddTagsToEntity(
guid: “NzEyNjM2fFNZTlRIfE1PTklUT1J8ZWUwOTVmN2ItOWM1NC00YWMyLTk0Y2EtZDVmYjJhMDAzN2I5”,
tags: { key: “Application”, values: [“assessments”]}) {
errors {
message
}
}
}

How do I use the New API to maintain functionality?

I expected to see “Application” appear as a label above (can’t attach image due to limits)

Hey @chris.tamlyn - Tags are the new NR1 Only version of labels. They will not be visible in the older Synthetics UI.

That’s a shame @RyanVeitch we find this useful. Is there is some way in NR1 to create a similar table and group by tags?

Is the Synthetics UI getting deprecated soon or something?

Hi @chris.tamlyn

There’s a lot more info in the post below;

but the summary is that labels in both APM and Synthetics are reaching end of life. In favour of New Relic One Tags.
