Introduction
Have you ever wondered how companies know when their websites or apps are running slowly before customers even notice? Or how they fix problems so quickly when something goes wrong? The secret often lies in a powerful tool called New Relic. In today’s fast-moving digital world, where every second of downtime can mean lost business, knowing how to monitor and improve software performance is no longer just an IT concern—it’s a business necessity.
Think about the last time you used a mobile app or website. If it was slow or kept crashing, how long did you wait before giving up and trying something else? For businesses, these moments are critical. That’s where New Relic training becomes essential. It’s not just about learning software; it’s about understanding how to keep digital businesses running smoothly, efficiently, and reliably.
At DevOpsSchool, we’ve been helping professionals master these essential skills for years. Our New Relic training program is designed to take you from basic concepts to advanced techniques, giving you the practical knowledge that companies are looking for right now. Whether you’re a developer wanting to build better applications, an operations specialist aiming to prevent issues before they happen, or someone looking to start a career in the growing field of DevOps and monitoring, this training can open doors for you.
What is New Relic?
Let’s start with the basics. New Relic is what experts call an “observability platform.” That’s a fancy term for a tool that helps you see what’s happening inside your applications and infrastructure in real time. Imagine having x-ray vision for your software—you can see which parts are working well, which are struggling, and exactly where problems are coming from.
New Relic collects data from your applications, servers, databases, and networks, then presents it in easy-to-understand dashboards and reports. This helps teams identify performance issues, understand how users are experiencing their applications, and fix problems before they affect customers.
Here’s a simple analogy: If your software were a car, New Relic would be your dashboard, warning lights, and diagnostic computer all rolled into one. It tells you how fast you’re going (application performance), how much fuel you’re using (resource utilization), when a warning light comes on (errors), and what might need maintenance before it breaks (potential issues).
Course Overview
Our New Relic training at DevOpsSchool is designed with one goal in mind: to give you practical, hands-on skills you can use immediately in your job. We don’t just teach theory—we focus on what you actually need to know to work with New Relic in real-world situations.
What You’ll Learn
The course covers everything from getting started with New Relic to using its most advanced features:
- Getting Started: How to set up New Relic, create accounts, and install monitoring agents on different types of applications (Java, PHP, .NET, Docker, and more)
- Core Monitoring: Understanding key concepts like transactions (user actions), throughput (how much traffic your app handles), and error tracking
- Dashboards and Reporting: Creating custom dashboards to visualize data, generating performance reports, and setting up alerts
- Advanced Features: Working with specialized tools for browser monitoring, mobile apps, synthetic testing (simulated user traffic), infrastructure monitoring, and log analysis
- Troubleshooting: Practical techniques for identifying and fixing common performance problems
Training Format and Duration
We offer flexible training options to fit your schedule and learning preferences:
Our approach emphasizes hands-on practice. About 80-85% of the training involves actual exercises where you work with New Relic in simulated environments. This practical focus ensures you don’t just understand concepts theoretically—you know how to apply them.
Certification and Recognition
After completing the training and passing the assessment, you receive an industry-recognized certification from DevOpsSchool. This certification validates your skills and can enhance your professional profile when seeking new opportunities or advancement in your current role.
