New Relic Config

TangibleXP allows you to connect to your application to New Relic. New Relic is a platform that provides tools for performance, error, and availability monitoring.

Enabling New Relic may impact overall application performance. New Relic does claim that the overall impact of their monitoring is low, however we suggest appraising its impact on your application before choosing to keep it enabled over long periods of time.

Configuring New Relic

To configure New Relic, navigate to the Tracing tab in the sidebar and click the New Relic Config button:
