Vercel integration

Use New Relic to analyze and store the ingested logs from your Vercel projects and traces from your serverless functions.

You can install the Vercel quickstart to get a pre-built dashboard and alert to monitor the performance of your functions.

Prerequisites

To deploy on Vercel, you need to create a project which will group your deployments and custom domains. Learn how to set up and configure projects by reading the Vercel documentation.

Vercel configuration

Follow these easy steps to integrate your Vercel project and start sending logs:

Step 1. Add the integration

Open the Vercel's New Relic integration page and click Add integration.

Step 2. Connect the Vercel account

Select the Vercel account you'd like to connect and click Continue.

Step 3. Select projects

Select which projects you want to send logs from and click Continue.

Step 4. Allow permissions

Allow permissions to read and write for log drains and click Add integration.

Step 5. Set your license key

Go to the API Keys UI on your New Relic dashboard to create or retrieve your license key.

Copy the key, paste it in the Your New Relic license key field, and click Add Integration.

Install the Vercel quickstart dashboard

After you've sent Vercel data to New Relic, the Vercel quickstart is the fastest way to jump straight into monitoring your end-to-end development logs.

Install the quickstart to get a pre-built dashboard and alert to monitor the performance of your functions. You'll also get a pre-built alert that triggers when the error rate (4xx/5xx errors) exceeds 1%. Follow these instructions:

1. Go to the Vercel quickstart in New Relic Instant Observability and click Install now.
2. Select an account and click Begin installation.
3. If you've already completed the Vercel configuration steps, select Done to move onto the next step.
4. The quickstart deploys the resources to your account. Click See your data to get to the dashboard.

The Vercel quickstart dashboard visualizes all your key data into three pages. Click the Overview, Build Logs, and Serverless Function tabs to get an overview, analyze build logs, and dive deep into your Serverless Function performance.

Optional: Get trace data from Vercel with OpenTelemetry

You can use OpenTelemetry to import trace data from your applications running in Vercel functions. To set this option, follow these steps:

1. After clicking Add integration in step 5 in the Vercel configuration, you'll see the configuration details dialog box.

2. Go to the Traces (Beta) section and toggle it on to enable the traces.

3. Click Save changes.

   

4. After you've enabled the traces, you'll see them in New Relic. Go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > APM & services > (select an app). Then, under the Monitor section, click Distributed tracing.

Disable log forwarding

To disable log forwarding capabilities, follow standard procedures in the Vercel documentation. You don't need to do anything else in New Relic.
