New Relic is an observability platform that helps you monitor, debug, and improve your entire stack. You can send Simplismart metrics to New Relic using the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Prerequisites

OpenTelemetry Collector configuration

Configuration parameters

namespace

The namespace parameter accepts a comma-separated list of deployment slugs. You can specify up to 10 deployment slugs. To increase this limit, reach out to support at support@simplismart.tech. Example: ["slug-1", "slug-2", "slug-3"]

scrape_interval

The recommended scrape interval is 60 seconds. It is advised not to reduce the interval below 30 seconds, as shorter intervals may not provide meaningful additional visibility and can lead to unnecessary overhead.

Test locally

To test this configuration locally, first save the above YAML as otelcol.yaml, then set your API keys as environment variables:
Next, execute the following command to start the collector:
This will start the OpenTelemetry Collector in a Docker container using your local configuration file.
