Java agent attributes settings

Attributes settings control which attributes the agent collects and attaches to transactions, errors, traces, and events.

Attributes

To set these options, use the attributes section. To override them, use a newrelic.config.attributes prefixed system property.

Attributes are key-value pairs related to transaction traces, traced errors, , and transaction events. There's an attribute section under each destination. For more information, see Java agent attributes, Enabling and disabling attributes and Attribute examples.

Type	Boolean
Default	`true`

This setting can be used to turn on or off all attributes.

Importante

For security reasons, capturing custom attributes using the Custom Instrumentation Editor is set to false by default.

Type	List of Strings
Default	(none)

If attributes are enabled, attribute keys found in this list will be sent to New Relic. Separate the keys in the list with a comma; for example:

key1, key2, key3

Also refer to the agent attribute rules.

Type	List of Strings
Default	(none)

All attribute keys found in this list will not be sent to New Relic. Separate the keys in the list with a comma; for example:

key1, key2, key3

Also refer to the agent attribute rules.

Type	String
Default	both

Attribute reporting is configurable via the following means.

YAML:

attributes:
  http_attribute_mode: both

System property:

-Dnewrelic.config.attributes.http_attribute_mode=both

Environment variable:

NEW_RELIC_ATTRIBUTES_HTTP_ATTRIBUTE_MODE=both

The configuration options are:

standard : Reporting will utilize standard (i.e. OTEL) Attributes. This configuration is encouraged. It will minimize impact to functionality and maintain the lowest level of ingest for attribute reporting.
legacy : Reporting will be done by the reintroduced HTTP Attributes, this configuration may impact current or future functionality.
both : This is the default configuration, reporting will be done by the reintroduced HTTP Attributes and the OTEL Attributes. This configuration will also increase your data ingest.

Importante

Available since Java agent version 8.8.0. The default configuration, both, will increase data ingest. To avoid an increase in data ingest, you must override the default by setting http_attribute_mode to legacy or standard.
