For example, you have a web application that occasionally generates an error and you log these errors to a file.Let\u2019s say you proceed the error info with [Error]. So, an error might look like this: [Error] Bats in the belfry<br>To track the rate of errors you just need to install the plugin and provide the following options:<br>log_path: \/var\/log\/app.log<br>term: &#8220;[Error]&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO SET THIS UP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you create your New Relic account &#8211; find &#8220;Plugins&#8221; menu item in left navigation side bar, choose plugin you are interested in and follow to the further install instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1298\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/railsware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Plugin-Central-New-Relic-2013-06-19-16-07-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4841\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At Railsware, we\u2019ve been using New Relic for quite a while now and, in our opinion, SaaS Platform launch is a huge step forward in the process of growing New Relic to a solid monitoring solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, there\u2019s still some space for Platform usability enhancement and we hope New Relic team will keep working on and improving this solution. As a New Relic partner, we will always provide a constructive feedback, suggestions and validations to the New Relic team.
