Personalized New Relic pre-built dashboard recommendations for Nonprofits to help you monitor in minutes.

Save time and discover relevant observability resources faster with tailored quickstart recommendations right in your dashboards UI!

Save time save money with New Relic pre-built Dashboards ;-)

We’ve updated our dashboards UI to recommend quickstart dashboards personalized based on your stack. Now you can quickly find relevant data visualizations in the same place you find the rest of your dashboards. With this update, you can:

• Discover curated pre-made solutions based on the stack you rely on.
• Get instant full-stack observability with a guided dashboard installation process.
• Save the time and hassle of manually building dashboards from scratch, so you can spend your time monitoring and troubleshooting your system.

How to get started

To install a pre-built dashboard:

1. Go to the dashboards page and select the account you want to work in.
2. Select a dashboard from the Recommended dashboards section at the top of the screen.
3. Follow the instructions in the Setup data source section. If you’ve already instrumented the data source, you can skip this step.
4. Click View dashboard to deploy the dashboard!

Curate your recommendations

To tailor your recommendations, you can now modify your account stack configuration:

1. From the Dashboard home page, make sure you have an account selected.
2. Under the Recommended dashboards section, select Tell us about your stack.
3. In the new window, update your stack configuration by selecting all applicable choices.
4. Confirm and select Save. The new recommendations will now appear.

Note:

• If you have not selected your stack configuration, your recommendations will include a common set of curated popular pre-built dashboards.
• When you change your stack configuration, this will affect the recommendations for your entire account, including those of other users in the same account.

Recommended dashboards

The first step to improving your stack is understanding your data. Once you’ve started ingesting data using one of our APM agents, you need to organize all the information that is now funneling directly from your application to New Relic.

You can monitor metrics, events, logs, and transactions by creating custom data visualizations with NRQL, our New Relic query language. But sometimes you don’t have time to build the exact dashboard you need, or you might not even know what data you should be monitoring. We have a collection of recommended pre-built dashboards to help you instantly visualize your data for common use cases.

Dashboards tailored for your stack

To make full use of every tool New Relic has to offer you can install pre-built dashboards that fit your business needs. If you run an ecommerce site and you want to understand any potential revenue risk, you can install the dashboard Customer experience bottom of the funnel analysis which automatically monitors orders, checkout, latency, and tracks promotions. Or if you're a DevOps engineer and you want to make sure your hosts and servers don't get overwhelmed, you can install our Infrastructure Dashboard to quickly analyze CPU and memory and make changes.

STEP 1 OF 4

Connect your data

It’s important to instrument your data sources before using our dashboards. If you’re just starting out, follow these instructions. If you already have everything you want to monitor connected to New Relic move on to the next step.

To monitor your application’s performance, you’ll use an agent created specifically for your app’s language. Clicking a logo sends you to New Relic platform where you’ll be guided through installing and configuring the agent.

Go agent

Java agent

.NET agent

Node.js agent

PHP agent

Python agent

Ruby agent

Once you’ve installed an agent, go to one.newrelic.com and select your app. If you don’t see much data just yet, step away for a while and let the agent gather real-time data as your application runs.

2. Select your account in the top right account picker.
3. Search for the pre-built dashboard subsection.
4. Click Tell us about your stack.
5. Change your stack configuration by selecting all applicable choices like apache or node.js.
