New Relic Tools

New Relic is an observability platform for querying telemetry and managing alerting. Use these tools in a workflow to run NRQL queries against a New Relic account or to enumerate the account's alert policies through the NerdGraph GraphQL API.

Overview

Operations

Configuration

Both operations call the New Relic NerdGraph endpoint POST https://api.newrelic.com/graphql. Authentication is a New Relic user API key passed in the Api-Key request header.

new_relic_nrql_query

new_relic_list_alert_policies

Outputs

new_relic_nrql_query

• data (json) — NRQL result rows (array of row objects).
• metadata (json) — List metadata.
  • metadata.count (number) — Number of result rows returned.

new_relic_list_alert_policies

• data (json) — Array of alert policy objects (each with id, name, and incidentPreference).
• metadata (json) — List metadata.
  • metadata.count (number) — Number of alert policies returned.

YAML Example

new_relic_1:
  type: new_relic
  name: "New Relic"
  inputs:
    operation: "new_relic_nrql_query"
    accountId: 1234567
    nrql: "SELECT count(*) FROM Transaction SINCE 1 hour ago"
    apiKey: "{{NEW_RELIC_API_KEY}}"
  connections:
    outgoing:
      - target: next-block-id

Tips

• Auth setup: Generate a user API key (it typically starts with NRAK-) in New Relic under API keys, and supply it as apiKey. It is sent as the Api-Key header to NerdGraph; keep it as a secret/env reference like {{NEW_RELIC_API_KEY}}.
• The accountId must be a numeric account ID — it is truncated to an integer before being embedded in the GraphQL query, so pass a plain number (e.g. 1234567), not a string with separators.
• Both operations always return a data array plus metadata.count. When a query yields no rows or the account has no policies, data is an empty array and count is 0 rather than an error — branch on {{new_relic_1.metadata.count}} if you need to handle the empty case.
• For NRQL, write valid NRQL in the nrql field (it is JSON-escaped into the NerdGraph query). The nrql parameter only applies to the new_relic_nrql_query operation.
