Telemetry Examples

This module contains a set of examples on how to use the telemetry SDK. They are full examples, which should compile and be runnable as-is.

You will need to provide your Insights Insert Key or License Key and the New Relic Metric API endpoint as command-line parameters to the programs.

The examples

GaugeExample.java

This is an example of how to write Gauge metrics to New Relic using the SDK.

SummaryExample.java

This is an example of how to write Summary metrics to New Relic using the SDK.

CountExample.java

This is an example of how to write Count metrics to New Relic using the SDK.

BoundaryExample.java

This is an example of pushing the boundaries of what is accepted by the New Relic APIs, and how you can see what happens when things go wrong.

SpanExample.java

This example shows you how you can send spans to the New Relic trace ingest api. It demonstrates how to use the SimpleSpanBatchSender to easily create a SpanBatchSender that can be fed a SpanBatch.

SpanToTraceObserverExample.java

This example shows you how you can send spans to an alternate endpoint. In this case, we are sending to a provisioned TraceObserver for Infinite Tracing on the New Relic Edge. Sending spans to a TraceObserver requires a modification to the default behavior. The default behavior is to send data to the Portland production US endpoints. The example demonstrates how to use the SpanBatchSenderFactory to easily create a SpanBatchSender and change the endpoint by providing the URL of a provisioned TraceObserver.
The expected TraceObserver URL format is given below.

https://<Your-TraceObserver-UUID>.aws-us-east-1.tracing.edge.nr-data.net:443/trace/v1

For more information on TraceObserver and Infinite Tracing go here.

TelemetryClientExample.java

This is an example of how to use the provided com.newrelic.telemetry.TelemetryClient to handle errors in the recommended way.

Running the examples

You can build the examples using gradle tasks. You'll need your New Relic Insights Insert API Key or New Relic APM License Key. Provide the Insights Key as the -PapiKey=<your-api-key> property and run the gradle task in the usual way, as shown below.

The command below will run the BoundaryExample class using your Insights key.

./gradlew telemetry_examples:BoundaryExample -PapiKey=<Your Insert API Key>

To run the BoundaryExample with your license key, you'll modify MetricBatchSender with an additional useLicenseKey builder configuration.

MetricBatchSender.create(factory.configureWith(insightsInsertKey).useLicenseKey(true).build());

You will then run this command.

./gradlew telemetry_examples:BoundaryExample -PapiKey=<Your License Key>

The SpanToTraceObserverExample requires two arguments.

./gradlew telemetry_examples:SpanToTraceObserverExample --args=<'Your Insert API Key> <https://<Your-TraceObserver-UUID>.aws-us-east-1.tracing.edge.nr-data.net:443/trace/v1'>
