Manage Azure Native New Relic Service

This article describes how to manage the settings for Azure Native New Relic Service.

Resource overview

To see the details of your New Relic resource, select Overview on the left pane.

The details include:

  • Resource group
  • Region
  • Subscription
  • Tags
  • New Relic account
  • New Relic organization
  • Status
  • Pricing plan
  • Billing term

At the bottom:

  • The Get started tab provides deep links to New Relic dashboards, logs, and alerts.
  • The Monitoring tab provides a summary of the resources that send logs and metrics to New Relic.

If you select Monitored resources, the pane that opens includes a table with information about the Azure resources that are sending logs and metrics to New Relic.

The columns in the table denote valuable information for your resource:

Property Description
Resource type Azure resource type
Total resources Count of all resources for the resource type
Logs to New Relic Count of logs for the resource type
Metrics to New Relic Count of resources that are sending metrics to New Relic through the integration

If New Relic currently manages billing and you want to change to Azure Marketplace billing to consume your Azure commitment, you should work with New Relic to align on timeline as per the current contract tenure. Then, switch your billing using the Bill via Marketplace from the working pane of the Overview page or your New Relic resource.

Reconfigure rules for logs or metrics

To change the configuration rules for logs or metrics, select Metrics and Logs in the Resource menu.

For more information, see Configure metrics and logs.

View monitored resources

To see the list of resources that are sending metrics and logs to New Relic, select Monitored resources on the left pane.

You can filter the list of resources by resource type, resource group name, region, and whether the resource is sending metrics and logs.

The column Logs to New Relic indicates whether the resource is sending logs to New Relic. If the resource isn't sending logs, the reasons could be:

  • Resource does not support sending logs: Only resource types with monitoring log categories can be configured to send logs. See Supported categories.
  • Limit of five diagnostic settings reached: Each Azure resource can have a maximum of five diagnostic settings. For more information, see Diagnostic settings.
  • Error: The resource is configured to send logs to New Relic but an error blocked it.
  • Logs not configured: Only Azure resources that have the appropriate resource tags are configured to send logs to New Relic.
  • Agent not configured: Virtual machines or app services without the New Relic agent installed don't send logs to New Relic.

The column Metrics to New Relic indicates whether New Relic is receiving metrics that correspond to this resource.

Monitor virtual machines by using the New Relic agent

You can install the New Relic agent on virtual machines as an extension. Select Virtual Machines on the left pane. The Virtual machine agent pane shows a list of all virtual machines in the subscription.

For each virtual machine, the following info appears:

Property Description
Virtual machine name Name of the virtual machine.
Resource status Indicates whether the virtual machine is stopped or running. The New Relic agent can be installed only on virtual machines that are running. If the virtual machine is stopped, installing the New Relic agent is disabled.
Agent status Indicates whether the New Relic agent is running on the virtual machine.
Agent version Version number of the New Relic agent.

Note

If a virtual machine shows that an agent is installed, but the option Uninstall extension is disabled, the agent was configured through a different New Relic resource in the same Azure subscription. To make any changes, go to the other New Relic resource in the Azure subscription.

Monitor app services by using the New Relic agent

You can install the New Relic agent on app services as an extension. Select App Services on the left pane. The working pane shows a list of all app services in the subscription.

Screenshot that shows app services for a New Relic resource.

For each app service, the following information appears:

Property Description
Resource name App service name.
Resource status Indicates whether the App service is running or stopped. The New Relic agent can be installed only on app services that are running.
App Service plan The plan that's configured for the app service.
Agent status Status of the agent.

To install the New Relic agent, select the app service and then select Install Extension. The application settings for the selected app service are updated, and the app service is restarted to complete the configuration of the New Relic agent.

Note

App Service extensions are currently supported only for app services that are running on Windows operating systems. The list doesn't show app services that use Linux operating systems.

Note

This page currently shows only the web app type of app services. Managing agents for function apps is not supported at this time.

Delete a New Relic resource

  1. Select Overview on the left pane. Then, select Delete.

    Screenshot of the delete button on a resource overview.

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the New Relic resource. Select Delete.

If only one New Relic resource is mapped to a New Relic account, logs and metrics are no longer sent to New Relic.

For a New Relic organization where billing is managed through Azure Marketplace, deleting the last associated New Relic resource also removes the corresponding Azure Marketplace billing relationship.

If you map more than one New Relic resource to the New Relic account by using the link option, deleting the New Relic resource only stops sending logs for Azure resources associated with that New Relic resource. Because other Azure Native New Relic Service resources are linked with this New Relic account, billing continues through Azure Marketplace.
