Application Performance Monitoring and transaction analysis. Use when investigating application errors, slow response times, throughput issues, or transaction-level problems.

Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "newrelic/claude-code-plugin:skills/apm" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Manual command

git clone https://github.com/newrelic/claude-code-plugin /tmp/claude-code-plugin && ln -s /tmp/claude-code-plugin/skills/apm ~/.claude/skills/apm

From README

Application Performance Monitoring Analyze application performance focusing on error rates, latency, throughput, and transaction behavior. Core Responsibility This skill helps investigate and diagnose application-level performance issues including: High error rates and error patterns Slow response times and latency spikes Throughput degradation Transaction failures and timeouts Apdex score degradation Service dependencies and external calls Critical Workflow Note IMPORTANT: Use specialized analysis tools FIRST before writing custom NRQL queries. Preferred Workflow: Use analyzegoldenmetrics - Automatically fetches and analyzes throughput, error rate, latency, and resource for an entity Use listtoptransactions - Gets top transactions by volume, latency, or error rate Use analyzetransactions - Analyzes specific transaction patterns and performance Use executenrqlquery - Only for custom queries not covered by specialized tools Tool Selection Guide: Why use specialized tools?
