Manually log errors in New Relic

For debugging purposes, custom errors can logged in New Relic by either manually adding them to the Runtime Logs via PHP or logged only to New Relic by using the function newrelic_notice_error().

Errors can be triggered with code similar to this example:

if ( extension_loaded( 'newrelic' ) ) {
    newrelic_notice_error( 'My custom error message' );
}

For more information, refer to New Relic’s function documentation.

Alternatively, the newrelic_record_custom_event() function can be used to keep track of data and log events without considering it to be an error.

For more information, refer to New Relic’s function documentation for newrelic_record_custom_event().

Ingest API

NewRelic’s Ingest API can be used to report custom telemetry data including custom events using an HTTP POST request method. This method provides a response status code that can be used to track the reliability of the ingested data. To obtain an Ingest API license key, submit a request to VIP Support.
