How to Integrate Google Dialogflow with New Relic

January 24, 2025

Learn to seamlessly integrate Google Dialogflow with New Relic for enhanced monitoring and insights in this comprehensive step-by-step guide.

How to Connect Google Dialogflow to New Relic: a Simple Guide

 

Prerequisites

 

  • Ensure you have access to a Google Dialogflow account and have a Dialogflow agent set up.
  • Have an active New Relic account with the ability to create applications and monitor them.
  • Basic understanding of cloud services, APIs, and logging.

 

Set Up Dialogflow

 

  • Log into the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the Dialogflow ES console.
  • Select or create a Dialogflow agent.
  • Go to the 'Integrations' menu and ensure that API is enabled.

 

Create a Basic Dialogflow Agent

 

  • Define intents and entities that will trigger the actions you want to monitor.
  • Test the intents in Dialogflow and make sure they function as expected.

 

Enable Event Forwarding

 

  • Access the Google Cloud Console.
  • Navigate to the Pub/Sub section and create a Pub/Sub topic that Dialogflow will use to forward events.
  • In the Dialogflow console, go to the Fulfillment page and enable 'Webhook' and 'Pub/Sub' for integrations.
  • Provide the topic name from Pub/Sub as the means of forwarding messages.

 

Install New Relic Agent

 

  • Access your New Relic account, and go to the installation instructions for the programming language you are using (Node.js, Python, etc.).
  • Usually, the installation involves adding New Relic's agent to your application, for example:

 

npm install newrelic --save  

 

  • Configure the New Relic agent by creating the newrelic.js or equivalent configuration file and adding your New Relic license key.

 

Subscribe to the Pub/Sub Topic

 

  • Create a new service to handle messages from the Pub/Sub topic. This service will process messages and then send relevant information to New Relic.
  • You might use a framework or cloud function to set up this service, depending on your preference and environment:

 

import os  
from google.cloud import pubsub_v1  
from newrelic_telemetry_sdk import Log
  
def callback(message):  
    log_msg = Log(message.data)  
    newrelic_client.send(log_msg)  
    message.ack()  

subscriber = pubsub_v1.SubscriberClient()  
subscription_path = 'projects/{project_id}/subscriptions/{sub_id}'  
subscriber.subscribe(subscription_path, callback=callback)  

 

Monitor Using New Relic

 

  • Go to your New Relic account and navigate to the new logs or applications you created.
  • Monitor the metrics and logs that are being generated from your Dialogflow agent to ensure integration is working successfully.
  • Customize and set alerts, dashboards as per your requirements to get insights.

 

Test and Validate

 

  • Trigger various intents within your Dialogflow agent to test if the events are correctly being logged in New Relic.
  • Check both Dialogflow and New Relic dashboards for data consistency.

 

Optimize and Enhance

 

  • Use New Relic's insights to identify any unnecessary intents or excessive usage that might need streamlining.
  • Consider setting up additional alerts for potential issues.

Troubleshooting Google Dialogflow and New Relic Integration

How do I connect Google Dialogflow with New Relic for monitoring?

 

Overview of Integration

 

  • Integrating Google Dialogflow with New Relic involves logging the performance of Dialogflow agents through New Relic's monitoring capabilities.
  •  

  • You'll need to use New Relic's Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools to gather metrics from your Dialogflow agent.

 

Setting Up New Relic

 

  • Create a New Relic account and set up your application in the New Relic dashboard.
  •  

  • Configure the New Relic agent in your application based on the specific environment it operates (e.g., Node.js, Python).

 

Linking Dialogflow to New Relic

 

  • Use logging hooks within your Dialogflow webhook service to send data to New Relic.
  •  

  • Implement it by wrapping your bot logic with New Relic's logging functions. For example, in Node.js:

 

const newrelic = require('newrelic');

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  newrelic.startTransaction('/webhook', 'category', (transactionName) => {
    // your Dialogflow handling logic
    newrelic.endTransaction();
  });
});

 

Monitoring and Alerts

 

  • Set custom metrics, dashboards, and alerts in New Relic to monitor the Dialogflow agent's performance and get notified of anomalies.

 

Why is my Dialogflow data not appearing in New Relic?

 

Verify Data Export Configuration

 

  • Ensure Dialogflow is correctly configured to export data to New Relic. Check your integration settings for any missed steps or incorrect parameters.
  •  

  • Review Dialogflow's service accounts used for data export. Correct permissions are crucial for data to be sent to New Relic.

 

Check New Relic API Configuration

 

  • Verify API keys and endpoints in your Dialogflow settings. Incorrect API credentials can block data transmission.
  •  

  • Ensure New Relic is set to receive data from your Dialogflow project. Check connection logs for signs of issues or misconfigurations.

 

Diagnose Common Errors

 

  • Review network configurations like firewalls which can block data flow. Temporarily disable or create rules to allow traffic.
  •  

  • Inspect error logs in both Dialogflow and New Relic for any failed transmissions or authentication issues.

 

{
  "status": "failure",
  "reason": "API_KEY_INVALID"
}

 

How can I troubleshoot API errors between Dialogflow and New Relic?

 

Troubleshoot API Connectivity

 

  • Ensure network connectivity between Dialogflow and New Relic. Check firewall and VPN settings to make sure both services can communicate.
  •  

  • Validate API keys or credentials. Incorrect or expired credentials can lead to failed API calls.

 

Review Error Logs

 

  • Check Dialogflow's error logs for recent API call attempts. This will often highlight the nature of the errors.
  •  

  • Look into New Relic's APM logs to see if there are any blocked requests or specific error codes.

 

Test API Endpoints

 

  • Using tools like Postman or cURL, test the API endpoints manually to verify they return expected responses. This helps isolate the issue outside the application logic.

 

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"your test query"}' \
"https://api.dialogflow.com/v1/query"

 

Monitor API Rate Limits

 

  • Ensure you are not hitting API rate limits imposed by either Dialogflow or New Relic. Adjust the API call frequency if necessary.

 

Update SDKs

 

  • Ensure that both Dialogflow and New Relic SDKs are up to date to avoid compatibility issues due to deprecated methods or bug fixes.
