New Relic Tracker Core JS

The New Relic tracking core library is the base for all JS trackers in the browser platform. It contains the classes and core mechanisms used by the specific trackers.

Pre-requisites

New Relic Browser Agent v1.277.0 or higher.

Build

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

And build:

$ npm run build:dev

Or if you need a production build:

$ npm run build

Usage

Add scripts inside dist folder to your page.

If you want to know how to generate dist folder, refer to npm commands section.

Registering Trackers

nrtracker provides a class called Tracker that will serve as an interface with Browser Agent, allowing you to manage and send events to New Relic.

First of all, you have to add a tracker in the core class:

var tracker = new nrtracker.Tracker()
nrtracker.Core.addTracker(tracker)

From this point, any event emitted by said tracker will be reported to New Relic:

tracker.send('EVENT', { data: 1 })

Setting the event type

Tracker Core JS uses the New Relic Browser Agent to send data, specifically it uses the recordCustomEvent method. The default eventType is BrowserEvent, but it can be overwritten with:

nrtracker.Core.setEventType("MyEventType")

View data

Go to NROne and run the following request:

FROM BrowserEvent SELECT *

Replace BrowserEvent with your specific event type.

Debug

Adding ?nrtracker-debug=true to any URL using this tracker will cause logs to appear in the console.

The log level can also be explicitely set in code:

nrtracker.Log.level = nrtracker.Log.Levels.ALL

Documentation

All classes are documented using autodocs. The documents, generated with jsdoc, can be found in the documentation directory of the current repo.
