Introduction

New Relic is an Application Performance Management (APM) platform. This integration enables you to visualize Catchpoint's end-user digital experience data within New Relic. It uses the Catchpoint Test Data Webhook and the New Relic Metrics API to push data to New Relic. In order to accomplish this setup, we rely on a third-party cloud function, which will accept data from the Catchpoint API, process it, and forward it to New Relic.

Prerequisites

  • Google Cloud Project
  • New Relic Account
  • Catchpoint Account
