# app-config.yaml <a href="#app-configyaml" id="app-configyaml"></a>

      target: https://api.newrelic.com/v2
      pathRewrite:
        api/proxy/newrelic/apm/api?: /

Secrets

• Create secret in Harness to store API token, click on “New Secret Text” and enter values as shown below.

Layout

No action required

• This plugin exports a page that you can use as a New Relic page on the Sidenav to view New Relic Application Performance Monitoring (APM) data such as:

  1. Application Name

  2. Response Time (ms)

  3. Throughput (rpm)

  4. Error Rate

  5. Instance Count

  6. Apdex Score

• Since the plugin shows all the data in a single view and is not related to any one particular service, a Sidenav is more appropriate and is added by default than a tab.

• The following configuration is set by default in Layout under Sidenav Layout and you do not need to change anything:

- name: SidebarItem
  props:
    to: NewRelicPage
    text: NewRelic
