Get average throughput for an app (v2)

You can use the New Relic REST API (v2) to obtain the average throughput for your app, including web application and non-web application throughput. These values appear in the Throughput chart on your app's APM Summary page:

1. Go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > APM & services > (select an app).
2. Click the app's Transaction time chart title, then select your choice.

Web app throughput

To find the average web application throughput value for a time period, use a single command to get the metric HttpDispatcher:requests_per_minute. This example shows the time range for a specific 24 hour period.

$
curl -X GET "https://api.newrelic.com/v2/applications/${APP_ID}/metrics/data.json" \
>
     -H "X-Api-Key:${API_KEY}" -i \
>
     -d 'names[]=HttpDispatcher&values[]=requests_per_minute&from=2014-02-21T23:59:00+00:00&to=2014-02-22T23:59:00+00:00&summarize=true'

• Be sure to replace ${APPID} and ${APIKEY} with your application ID and API key for the account.
• To change the time range, include from and to values.
• To keep the default time period of the last 30 minutes, omit the from and to values.
• To return a series of throughput values instead of an average, omit summarize.

Web app throughput (single host)

To find the average throughput from a single host, for a given time period, use a single command to get the metric HttpDispatcher:requests_per_minute, and specify the numeric ${HOST}. To identify the host, use the UI or the REST API.

This example shows the time range for a specific 24 hour period.

$
curl -X GET "https://api.newrelic.com/v2/applications/${APP_ID}/hosts/${HOST}/metrics/data.json" \
>
     -H "X-Api-Key:${API_KEY}" -i \
>
     -d 'names[]=HttpDispatcher&:values[]=requests_per_minute&from=2014-02-21T23:59:00+00:00&to=2014-02-22T23:59:00+00:00&:summarize=true'

Non-web app throughput

To find the average non-web application throughput value for a given time period, use a single command to get the metric OtherTransaction/all:requests_per_minute.

This example shows the time range for a specific 24 hour period.

$
curl -X GET "https://api.newrelic.com/v2/applications/${APP_ID}/metrics/data.json" \
>
     -H "X-Api-Key:${API_KEY}" -i \
>
     -d 'names[]=OtherTransaction/all&values[]=requests_per_minute&;from=2014-02-21T23:59:00+00:00&to=2014-02-22T23:59:00+00:00&summarize=true'

• Be sure to replace ${APPID} and ${APIKEY} with your application ID and API key for the account.
• To change the time range (as shown in this example), include from and to values.
• To keep the default time period (last 30 minutes), omit the from and to values.
• To return a series of throughput values instead of an average, omit summarize.

Non-web app throughput (single host)

To obtain the average throughput for a non-web app from a single host, for a given time period, use a single command to obtain the metric OtherTransaction:requests_per_minute and specify the numeric ${HOST}. To identify the host, use the UI or the REST API.

This example shows the time range for a specific 24 hour period.

$
curl -X GET "https://api.newrelic.com/v2/applications/${APP_ID}/hosts/${HOST}/metrics/data.json" \
>
     -H "X-Api-Key:${API_KEY}" -i \
>
     -d 'names[]=OtherTransaction/all&:values[]=requests_per_minute&from=2014-02-21T23:59:00+00:00&to=2014-02-22T23:59:00+00:00&:summarize=true'
