What you'll learn

Connecting data to New Relic is the first practical step toward using the platform effectively. In this course, Connecting Your Data to the New Relic Platform, you’ll learn how to instrument an application, verify that telemetry is flowing into New Relic, and begin interpreting the performance data that appears in the UI.

First, you’ll explore how to choose the right instrumentation approach and configure a New Relic agent in a training environment.

Then, you’ll confirm that telemetry is reporting successfully by using core APM views such as response time, throughput, error rate, transactions, and traces.

Finally, you’ll customize the New Relic UI by organizing important signals into dashboards, tabs, and shareable views that support efficient team workflows.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to connect a service to New Relic, validate incoming telemetry, interpret basic performance data, and create focused views that help teams monitor and troubleshoot applications more effectively.
