Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Newrelic

Keep IBM AS/400 and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

IBM AS/400 is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers, Data queues, Libraries in IBM AS/400 with Entities, Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • 02 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 03 Push custom business or pipeline Events and Metrics into New Relic through the Event and Metric APIs so they appear alongside APM data in dashboards and NRQL.
  • 04 Record deployment and change markers from CI/CD through NerdGraph change tracking to correlate releases with performance and error-rate shifts.

Common sync patterns

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Newrelic arrive in IBM AS/400 as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

One integration pattern instead of per-tool API code

Read and write the synced tables in IBM AS/400 and Stacksync keeps Newrelic current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Newrelic arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, and writes to IBM AS/400 propagate to Newrelic within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 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.

IBM AS/400 objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. 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. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. 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. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. 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. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. 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. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 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.

IBM AS/400 Newrelic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Newrelic IBM AS/400 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 applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
  • 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.

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
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.

Rate limits
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.
