# What is New Relic APM?

[New-Relic](https://newrelic.com) is a Saas platform to monitor applications and servers. This module allows you to pull metrics from New Relic APM. Correlate monitoring metrics from your New Relic account inside your OctoPerf test reports.

## Configuration

New-Relic requires the following settings:

- **API URL**: either `https://api.newrelic.com` or `https://api.eu.newrelic.com` (if your account is in EU datacenter),
- **API-Key**: See [how to create a REST API-Key](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/getting-started/intro-apis/understand-new-relic-api-keys).

The next step involves selecting the applications to monitor.

## Applications

Select the applications you would like to monitor. The applications which can be monitored are the applications available in **New Relic APM**.

## Counters

The list of counters will appear once they've been fetched, this can take a while depending on the number of counters.

!!! warning
    Large amount of counters can cause the OctoPerf agent to run out of memory, in that case consider [increasing the heap size](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/on-premise-agent/provider-type/on-premise/#increase-heap-size).
