Why teams connect IBM Informix and Newrelic

Keep IBM Informix and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards, Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

IBM Informix 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, Views, TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures in IBM Informix with Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards, Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results 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 Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • 02 Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • 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

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in IBM Informix 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.

Land tool activity as queryable rows

Records and events from Newrelic arrive in IBM Informix 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 Informix and Stacksync keeps Newrelic current, replacing the auth, webhooks, rate limits, and retry logic you would otherwise maintain for each tool.

What you can sync between IBM Informix 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 Informix objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. 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. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. 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. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. 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. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. 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. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. 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. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. 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. Rows is specific to IBM Informix and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

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

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits 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.
