Why teams connect Newrelic and StarRocks

Close the gap between analytics and operations: StarRocks holds the record while Newrelic runs the day-to-day work, and Stacksync keeps the two in step in real time, in both directions.

StarRocks is the central store where teams keep Tables, Materialized views, Views, Partitions for reporting and analysis; Newrelic runs the operational side of engineering work — tracking issues, moving messages and events, watching systems, and managing users and access. The two overlap wherever the same operational data matters to both: the Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments) produced in Newrelic are exactly what analysts want to measure in StarRocks, and the curated rows in StarRocks are what should drive the next action in Newrelic. When that overlap is bridged by nightly ETL or hand-written scripts, dashboards lag a day behind reality and the tools that should react to warehouse signals never see them.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Materialized views, Views, Partitions in StarRocks 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 matches records on a stable external key, keeps every copy consistent, and resolves conflicts by rules you set — so analytics and operations work from the same current data instead of two drifting copies.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate several sources into StarRocks as the query layer while Stacksync handles movement
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records into StarRocks to serve low-latency operational dashboards
  • 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

Operational data lands in StarRocks for analytics

Records created in Newrelic — issues, events, messages, metrics, or user changes — replicate into StarRocks tables as they happen, so reporting runs on current data instead of last night's export.

Warehouse signals reach Newrelic

A row scored, flagged, or enriched in StarRocks creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, so the operational tool acts on the same data the analysts already see.

Backfill history, then stay live

Load the existing set of Workloads, Synthetics Monitors, Custom Events, Change Tracking (Deployments) into StarRocks once, then keep it current with every change — you get full history plus real-time updates without a separate pipeline.

What you can sync between Newrelic and StarRocks

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.

Newrelic objects StarRocks objects How this pairing syncs
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 Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior. Entities is specific to Newrelic and Tables to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data. Workloads is specific to Newrelic and Materialized views to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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 Logical views for shaping analytical reads. Synthetics Monitors is specific to Newrelic and Views to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention. Custom Events is specific to Newrelic and Partitions to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync. Change Tracking (Deployments) is specific to Newrelic and Columns to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients. Dashboards is specific to Newrelic and Databases to StarRocks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Newrelic and StarRocks

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.

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

StarRocks Newrelic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls StarRocks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling when reading.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • StarRocks: Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Newrelic and StarRocks connectors work

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.
