Why teams connect GitHub and Newrelic

Connect the tickets, records, and events in GitHub to the systems engineering runs in Newrelic, kept current in real time and in both directions.

GitHub is where customer-facing and operational work happens: the tickets, conversations, contacts, and records a team touches every day. Newrelic is where engineering runs the systems behind that work — the issue trackers, message brokers, directories, and monitors that keep services moving. The same items, people, and events matter to both, and when the only link between them is a manual hand-off or an overnight export, each side acts on a stale copy of what the other already knows.

Stacksync syncs Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, Commits in GitHub with Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync maps the overlap, resolves conflicts by rules you set, and keeps every copy current, with no middleware to build and no API limits to babysit.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • 02 Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.
  • 03 Sync the Entity catalog into a CMDB or warehouse for asset inventory, and add or replace entity Tags to keep ownership and environment metadata current.
  • 04 Provision Synthetics Monitors from a service catalog and read their results via NRQL for availability and latency reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Where Newrelic tracks engineering work: requests become issues

A ticket or request raised in GitHub opens or updates a matching issue in Newrelic, and status, comments, and resolution flow back, so support and engineering work the same item instead of retyping it.

Where Newrelic moves messages between services: activity lands on the stream

Records created or changed in GitHub publish to the queue or topic in Newrelic as they happen, so downstream services react to real events rather than polling for them.

Where Newrelic is the directory or identity source: one set of users

People and accounts in GitHub stay matched to the users in Newrelic, so access, provisioning, and org changes propagate instead of being keyed in twice.

What you can sync between GitHub and Newrelic

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

GitHub objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Labels and Milestones is specific to GitHub and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Repositories is specific to GitHub and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Change Tracking (Deployments) Deployment and change markers recorded through NerdGraph changeTrackingCreateDeployment; written from CI/CD to annotate charts, and read back via NRQL on the Deployment event for release correlation. Issues is specific to GitHub and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Dashboards Dashboard definitions and widgets via NerdGraph dashboardCreate/dashboardUpdate/dashboardDelete mutations and entity queries, with full CRUD; exported for backup and audit or provisioned and updated programmatically from a source of truth. Pull Requests is specific to GitHub and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. Alert Policies & Conditions Alert policies and NRQL alert conditions managed through NerdGraph alertsPolicy and alertsNrqlCondition mutations with full create, update, and delete; read out for audit or provisioned from a config source so alerting stays consistent across accounts. Commits is specific to GitHub and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Releases is specific to GitHub and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub and Newrelic

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

GitHub Newrelic Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Newrelic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Newrelic GitHub Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to GitHub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
