Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Newrelic

Keep IBM Db2 and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

IBM Db2 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 Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in IBM Db2 with Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads 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 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 02 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • 03 Provision Synthetics Monitors from a service catalog and read their results via NRQL for availability and latency reporting in SQL.
  • 04 Provision and update Dashboards and Alert Policies from a config repository or database through NerdGraph so definitions stay versioned and consistent across accounts and environments.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Newrelic arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, and writes to IBM Db2 propagate to Newrelic within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic stay matched to the users or owners table in IBM Db2, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in IBM Db2 creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 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 Db2 objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. 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. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. 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. Tablespaces is specific to IBM Db2 and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. 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. Databases is specific to IBM Db2 and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. 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. Schemas is specific to IBM Db2 and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. 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. Tables is specific to IBM Db2 and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. 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. Views is specific to IBM Db2 and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 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 Db2 Newrelic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Newrelic IBM Db2 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 Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • 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.

How the IBM Db2 and Newrelic connectors work

IBM Db2

Integration surface
SQL via JDBC/ODBC/CLI drivers; optional REST endpoints in some editions
Authentication
Database credentials, typically backed by OS or LDAP authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed; otherwise polling on timestamp or audit columns
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings

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.
