Method: NewRelic::Agent.record_metric

Defined in:
lib/new_relic/agent.rb

.record_metric(metric_name, value) ⇒ Object

Record a value for the given metric name.

This method should be used to record event-based metrics such as method calls that are associated with a specific duration or magnitude.

metric_name should follow a slash separated path convention. Application specific metrics should begin with “Custom/”.

value should be either a single Numeric value representing the duration/ magnitude of the event being recorded, or a Hash containing :count, :total, :min, :max, and :sum_of_squares keys. The latter form is useful for recording pre-aggregated metrics collected externally.

This method is safe to use from any thread.
