New Relic APM & AI Monitoring – Zero to Expert (2026)

Identify a host as the system monitored with New Relic, the agent as the data messenger, and define entity, transaction as a single task, and tags as key-value labels.

Learn how New Relic handles metrics, events, logs, and traces, including metric types, time slice data, and event attributes, with distributed tracing via spans for monitoring system requests.

Set up a dotnet core web API with mysql and swagger, and monitor it using agents to track CRUD operations and all API and database calls.

Explore the APM service summary page for Docs World to view app metadata, status, and health, and analyze web transaction time, Apdex, throughput, error rate, and transactions across date ranges.

Update the application name alias and set Apdex threshold to 0.6 in the APM settings, then save. The summary page reflects the new name and Apdex of 0.6 within minutes.

Explain the top New Relic K metrics beyond the four golden signals: response time, throughput, error rate, and Apdex, and how charts and thresholds support alerts.

New Relic monitors every database query. View the databases page to sort by time and inspect the top 20 queries, including insert doc stored procedures and doc select.

Explore New Relic logs to review error and information events, customize the works table, build queries, and view detailed error data such as error message, error class, and stack trace.

Define alerts as informational messages triggered by specific metric thresholds to monitor application health, notify via email, teams, slack, or Pagerduty, and convert breaches into incidents and ultimately issues.

Create your first alert in New Relic by setting a response time threshold and email notification, using a new alert condition, policy, and admin workflow.

Create database alerts from graphs in New Relic, setting thresholds for stored procedure query time, linking to a policy and a workflow, and configuring email notifications.

Define and create your first .NET dashboard to visually monitor app metrics, including transactions, errors, and VM metrics, using pre-built dashboards and customizable queries.

Set up a New Relic infrastructure dashboard via PowerShell: install the infrastructure agent on Windows, paste the admin command, and monitor CPU, memory, disk, and host metrics across all hosts.

Create a synthetic availability monitor (ping) with multiple locations, configure a one-minute interval, and set up an alert policy to notify via email on failures.

Learn to build endpoint availability with synthetic monitoring using New Relic, writing scripted API tests to verify status and message fields and ensure 200 responses from a Dublin location.
