New Relic¶

By enabling this toolset, HolmesGPT will be able to pull traces and logs from New Relic for investigations.

Prerequisites¶

A New Relic API Key with necessary permissions to access traces and logs
Your New Relic Account ID

You can find these in your New Relic account under Administration > API keys and Account settings.

Configuration¶

Holmes CLIRobusta Helm Chart

Add the following to ~/.holmes/config.yaml. Create the file if it doesn't exist:

toolsets:
  newrelic:
    enabled: true
    config:
      nr_api_key: "<your New Relic API key>"
      nr_account_id: "<your New Relic account ID>"
      is_eu_datacenter: false  # Set to true if using New Relic EU region

After making changes to your configuration, run:

holmes toolset refresh

holmes:
  toolsets:
    newrelic:
      enabled: true
      config:
        nr_api_key: "<your New Relic API key>"
        nr_account_id: "<your New Relic account ID>"
        is_eu_datacenter: false  # Set to true if using New Relic EU region

Capabilities¶

Tool Name	Description
newrelic_execute_nrql_query	Execute NRQL queries for Traces, APM, Spans, Logs and more

How it Works¶

You don't need to know NRQL to use this toolset. Holmes will automatically construct and execute NRQL queries based on your investigation needs.

For example, when investigating application logs, Holmes might execute a query like:

SELECT message, timestamp FROM Log WHERE pod_name = 'your-app' SINCE 1 hour ago

To learn more about NRQL syntax, see the New Relic Query Language documentation.
