If your log data is already being monitored by Vector, you can use our Vector output sink to forward and enrich your log data in New Relic.
Forwarding your Vector logs to New Relic will give you enhanced capabilities to collect, process, explore, query, and alert on your log data.
Configure the Vector logs sink for New Relic
To forward your logs from Vector to New Relic:
Make sure you have:
- A New Relic
- Vector version 0.7.0 or higher
Follow the procedures to configure the Vector logs sink for New Relic.
Add a snippet to your
vector.toml
file (located in/etc/vector
by default), replacingYOUR_LICENSE_KEY
with your New Relic :# Ingest data by tailing one or more files[sources.mylog]type = "file"include = ["/path/to/file"] # Specify file or files to be tailedignore_older = 86400 # Ignore events older than 1 dayfile_key = "file" # Add filename to log eventshost_key = "host" # Add hostname to log events# Configure sink to forward events to New Relic[sinks.new_relic_logs]# REQUIREDtype = "new_relic_logs" # must be: "new_relic_logs"inputs = ["mylog"] # example - value must be one or more source IDslicense_key = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"region = "us" # Enum, must be one of: "us" "eu" depending on your New Relic account regionencoding.codec = "json"# OPTIONALhealthcheck = true # defaultRestart the Vector service to ensure your changes are applied.
Test the Vector logs sink
To test if your Vector logs sink is forwarding events to New Relic:
Run the following command to append a test log message to your log file:
bash$echo "test message" >> /PATH/TO/YOUR/LOG/FILESearch our logs UI for your test message.
View log data
If everything is configured correctly and your data is being collected, you should see log data in both of these places:
- Our logs UI
- Our tools for running NRQL queries. For example, you can execute a query like this:
SELECT * FROM Log
If no data appears after you enable our log management capabilities, follow our standard log troubleshooting procedures.
