# Stream logs to New Relic

A New Relic log stream sends each request of a gateway environment to New Relic as one trace over OTLP/HTTP, about 30 seconds after the request ends.

## Before you begin

- A New Relic license key, of the type `INGEST - LICENSE`. Find it under **API keys** in New Relic. See [New Relic API keys](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/intro-apis/new-relic-api-keys/) in the New Relic docs.

## Add the stream

1. In the portal, go to [**Agent Gateway**](https://auth.faustine.ai/go?to=%2Fintegrations%2Fagent-gateway) and select your gateway.
2. Select the **Logs** tab, then **Log settings**.
3. Under **Log streams**, select **Add a stream**.
4. Under **Destination**, select **New Relic**.
5. Fill in the fields in the table.
6. Select **Send test event**. Faustine sends a trace of one request marked `test: true` and shows **Delivered** when New Relic accepts it.
7. Select **Continue**.
8. Under **What to send**, choose **All requests** or **Errors and denials**, and turn on **Discovery calls** or **Payloads** if you want them. Select **Continue**.
9. Under **Review and create**, enter a **Name** and select **Create stream**.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Region** | **US** (`otlp.nr-data.net`) or **EU** (`otlp.eu01.nr-data.net`). |
| **License key** | The license key. |
| **Service name** | The entity the traces appear under. Optional. Defaults to `faustine-gateway`. |

The stream's page opens. The first trace reaches New Relic about 30 seconds after the next request ends.

## What New Relic receives

Each request is one trace, sent over OTLP/HTTP in JSON. For the spans and their attributes, see [What the collector receives](https://docs.faustine.ai/technologies/opentelemetry/#what-the-collector-receives).
