New Relic Log Drains

You can now export your traffic and functions logs from Netlify to New Relic with Log Drains!

Log Drains allow you to connect site traffic logs and function logs from Netlify’s CDN to New Relic for analysis, alerting, and data persistence.

Log Drains are available on Netlify’s Enterprise plans, and they allow you to send your Netlify log data to third-party destinations for storage, troubleshooting, and alerting beyond what’s possible with Netlify alone.

You can also install the New Relic quickstart in minutes to get a pre-built dashboard to make it even easier to parse your log data.

When you connect your Netlify site to New Relic with Log Drains, you can use New Relic’s Log Manager service to unlock advanced monitoring use cases, including:

• Near-real-time notifications and alerting
• User agent analytics and troubleshooting
• Session tracking to understand user activity and journeys across these sites
• Granular requests showing the HTTP 4xx and 5xx errors
• Serverless function invocation information and performance monitoring
• Detecting anomalies in visitor activity including traffic from bots and bad actors to enable security and compliance engineers to proactively defend their sites
• Need for longer log retention for month-over-month comparisons and cold storage
