Steps to Create New Relic Forwarding

To forward logs to New Relic, begin by logging into Apica's website.

• Navigate to the Create tab and select the option for Forwarder.

• Next, choose New Relic (HTTP event collector) from the available options; this will bring up a new form with fields such as API Key, Host, Tags, etc. Fill out the required data in these fields and click Create.

Create Forwarder:

Copy

Api_Key:       <NEW-RELIC-API-KEY>
Host:          log-api.newrelic.com
Tags:          logflow
Type:          _json
Name:          New Relic

• Next, head over to the Explore page and pick out a namespace to forward logs to New Relic from.

• Click on the three dots icon located next to the calendar and opt for Map Forwarder; this will open a new modal which allows choosing the newly created New Relic forwarder schema (this can be identified via its New Relic icon).

• Confirm selection by clicking OK.

• A successful mapping is indicated by a popup showing that namespace-application pairs are connected with respective forwarders; additionally, an updated Namespace Forwarder status should be in effect.

• Logs are now being forwarded to New Relic.
