New Relic

Connect New Relic APM to ZigiOps. API key generation steps, connected system configuration, and templates for syncing APM metrics and violations with OBM and vROps.

What is New Relic Integration in ZigiOps?

New Relic is a cloud-based observability and application performance monitoring (APM) platform used to track application health, infrastructure metrics, and distributed traces across enterprise environments.

ZigiOps enables secure, API-based integration between New Relic APM and ITSM, ITOM, and monitoring platforms. Using ZigiOps, APM metrics, topology data, and violation events from New Relic can be synchronized with external systems to support automated incident management and observability workflows.

With ZigiOps, New Relic can:

Forward APM violations and alerts to operations management platforms such as OBM
Synchronize application topology data with infrastructure management tools
Feed host and application metrics into centralized monitoring platforms
Participate in automated incident creation and escalation workflows

The integration is fully customizable and does not require custom scripts or plugins.

Once saved, New Relic APM becomes available for use in ZigiOps integration templates.

What Are the Most Common New Relic Integration Use Cases?

Use Case 1: APM Violation Forwarding to OBM

When New Relic detects an application performance violation or threshold breach, ZigiOps forwards the event to Operations Bridge Manager as a structured event. Operations teams can triage, correlate, and act on the alert within OBM without switching tools.

Use Case 2: Application Topology Sync with OBM

New Relic application and host topology data can be synchronized with OBM, providing infrastructure operations teams with an up-to-date view of application dependencies and hosting relationships.

Use Case 3: Host Metrics Ingestion into Monitoring Platforms

APM host and application metrics collected by New Relic can be fed into platforms like vROps or OBM, enabling centralized performance monitoring and capacity planning across hybrid environments.
