Syntax
NewRelic.setMaxEventBufferTime(int $maxBufferTimeInSec)Sets the event harvest cycle length.
Requirements
Agent version 5.0.0 or higher.
Description
This method sets the maximum time in seconds that the New Relic Android agent will store events in memory before including the buffered event to be sent to New Relic in the next harvest cycle.
- Default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
- Minimum value cannot be less than 60 seconds.
- Maximum value should not be greater than 600 seconds.
In other words, when the oldest event timestamp exceeds this custom configured time, the agent transmits the buffered content at the harvest cycle between each connection from a New Relic agent to the collector.
See also setMaxEventPoolSize(), which sets the maximum number of events that are stored by the agent during a harvest cycle.
Important
Be aware that reporting a large number of events, or reporting events too frequently, may impact app performance.
