Why teams connect MySQL and Newrelic

Keep MySQL 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.

MySQL 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 Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in MySQL 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 Replicate ERP master data (customers, items, pricing) into the MySQL databases behind storefronts and portals
  • 02 Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
  • 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

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

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

Turn rows into the records your tools track

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

What you can sync between MySQL 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.

MySQL objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. 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. Tables is specific to MySQL and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. 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. Views is specific to MySQL and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. 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. Columns is specific to MySQL and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. 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. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to MySQL and Change Tracking (Deployments) to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. 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. JSON Columns is specific to MySQL and Dashboards to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. 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. Stored Procedures is specific to MySQL and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MySQL 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.

MySQL Newrelic Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • 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.

MySQL setup guide

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.
