New Relic Error Analytics

The New Relic APM error analytics feature gives you useful tools to analyze and resolve errors being reported by your applications. For example, DevOps teams can:

  • Assess the health of your applications with fine-grained data on error events over the past eight days.
  • Select which parameters to use to group and show error information in the UI; for example, error class, error message, host, transaction name, etc.
  • Drill down into stack trace details to diagnose and resolve specific errors.
  • Identify continuing trends in error rates for periods longer than eight days.
