Integrate with New Relic infrastructure

Learn how to set up a New Relic infrastructure monitoring integration with your BlazeMeter performance tests.

This integration is only available for performance tests.

Prerequisites

  • You have a New Relic account.

  • You are familiar with New Relic infrastructure performance monitoring.

  • You have generated a API Query key in New Relic.

  • You have configured one or more infrastructure systems (entities) in New Relic.

For more information, see the New Relic documentation.

Steps

  1. Log in to your New Relic account and copy your New Relic REST API key.

  2. Log in to BlazeMeter and do one of the following:

    • Click Create Test and scroll down to the Integrations section.

    • Open an existing performance test, click the Configurations tab, and scroll down to the Integrations section.

  3. Click New Relic Infrastructure.

  4. If you do not have an existing New Relic API key, select Create a New Relic API Key and enter:

    • Profile Name — Enter a unique name for your New Relic API key

    • Account ID — Enter an account ID. Must be numeric digits

    • New Relic User API key — Enter your New Relic API key

  5. Click Next.

  6. Under Build profile, select Infrastructure.

  7. Click Next.

  8. Select the required entities. The key performance indicators appear automatically according to your New Relic application profile settings.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Enter a profile name, and click Save Profile. A profile is basically a preset that is kept for your following tests, so you do not have to choose all the different metrics every time you run a test.

  11. Click Apply

Result

Your infrastructure monitoring data will appear in the BlazeMeter Timeline Report as soon as you run your load test. You can now diagnose performance-related problems, apply fixes and start the cycle all over again.
