New Relic Insights is a real-time analytics platform. By connecting New Relic Insights with BlazeMeter API Monitoring, you can collect metrics from your API tests and transform them into actionable insights about your applications.
Connect Your Accounts
You need to get two variables from New Relic to integrate it with BlazeMeter: an Account ID, and Insert Key.
Get a New Relic Account ID and Insert Key
Follow these steps:
- Log in to your New Relic Insights account, and click Manage Data on the left-hand side menu.
-
On the top bar, click API Keys.
- Click the "+" button next to Insert Keys.
-
In the next page you will find an Account ID and Key. Copy these two values to use it in the next steps.
Activate New Relic Insights in BlazeMeter
Follow these steps:
- In your BlazeMeter API Monitoring account, click your profile on the top-right, and select Connected Services.
-
Find the New Relic Insights logo and click Connect New Relic Insights.
-
Provide two items from your New Relic account: the Account ID, and Insert Key. Paste the values that you just got in the previous step.
-
Ensure to enable the integration for any API test that you have that you wish to send the information back to New Relic Insights. You can toggle the integration on/off by opening an API Test, expanding the Environment Settings, and clicking on the Integrations tab on the left-hand menu.
Example NRQL Queries
To try these sample NRQL queries, select the 'Query' screen from within your New Relic Insights dashboard. You can filter any of these by bucket (WHERE bucket_name = 'Silly Swan') or test (WHERE test_name = 'My API Tests') as needed.

There are two types of events generated at the completion of every test run: RunscopeRadarTestRun which summarizes the entire run and RunscopeRadarTestRequest for each individual request. An explanation of each of the fields is below. The identifier is the name to use for the given attribute in NRQL queries.
