New Relic is an application performance management (APM) tool used for application monitoring. It offers real-time insights into your application’s performance and reliability. New Relic has recently updated its licensing terms and now offers a basic plan free for up to 100 GB/month. You can read more about the available plans of New Relic.
How to Use New Relic APM
Setting up New Relic APM on a server will activate monitoring on all your applications available on that server. If you are already using New Relic, you can also view and update your license key using the following steps.
Prerequisites
Here are a few prerequisites for setting up and using New Relic APM:
You should have a New Relic account. If not, sign up on New Relic.
You should have a valid account license key.
Tip
The account license key is a 40 characters key, and it is generated when you sign up for a New Relic account. Your license key uniquely identifies your account and the data it reports to New Relic.
