Why teams connect InfluxDB and Newrelic

Keep InfluxDB and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments) your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

InfluxDB 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 Buckets / databases, Measurements, Points, Tags in InfluxDB with Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments) 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 device and telemetry rollups from InfluxDB into a CRM or ERP so account teams see product usage and fleet health.
  • 02 Push metered usage aggregates into billing systems to drive usage-based pricing.
  • 03 Record deployment and change markers from CI/CD through NerdGraph change tracking to correlate releases with performance and error-rate shifts.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

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

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in InfluxDB 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 InfluxDB as rows, so tickets, alerts, messages, or identity changes become joinable data your services and reports read directly.

What you can sync between InfluxDB 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.

InfluxDB objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Buckets / databases Named containers with retention settings that scope reads and writes. 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. Buckets / databases is specific to InfluxDB and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. 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. Measurements is specific to InfluxDB and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. 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. Points is specific to InfluxDB and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tags Indexed key-value metadata used for filtering and as sync partition keys. 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. Tags is specific to InfluxDB and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields The unindexed numeric or string values carried by each point. 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. Fields is specific to InfluxDB and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. 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. Retention policies is specific to InfluxDB and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between InfluxDB 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.

InfluxDB Newrelic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.
  • 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 InfluxDB and Newrelic connectors work

InfluxDB

Integration surface
REST API with line-protocol writes; queries via InfluxQL, Flux, or SQL depending on version
Authentication
API token
Change detection
Polling with time-range queries; data is timestamped, so incremental reads use time cursors
Capabilities

Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.

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.
