Why teams connect Newrelic and Vertica

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

Vertica is the central store where teams keep Flex Tables, External Tables, Schemas, Tables 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 Change Tracking (Deployments), Dashboards, Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results produced in Newrelic are exactly what analysts want to measure in Vertica, and the curated rows in Vertica 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 Flex Tables, External Tables, Schemas, Tables in Vertica 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 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 Sync CRM accounts and opportunities into Vertica to join with large-scale behavioral or telemetry data.
  • 02 Land ERP transactions in Vertica for finance analytics without maintaining hand-built ETL jobs.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

No batch jobs to babysit

New and changed records move field by field the moment they change, replacing scheduled ETL and one-off scripts that fail quietly and leave stale rows behind.

One shared record, kept consistent

Where both systems track the same entity, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the manual reconciliation between the operational copy and the warehouse copy.

Keep user and access records aligned

Where Newrelic manages users, directory, or access data, those records stay current in Vertica — and can be provisioned back from it — so ownership and permissions match across both.

What you can sync between Newrelic and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Alert Policies & Conditions is specific to Newrelic and Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. NRQL Query Results is specific to Newrelic and Projections to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Entities is specific to Newrelic and Views to Vertica — 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Workloads is specific to Newrelic and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Synthetics Monitors is specific to Newrelic and External Tables to Vertica — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Custom Events is specific to Newrelic and Schemas to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Newrelic and Vertica

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

Vertica Newrelic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.

How the Newrelic and Vertica 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.
