Before You Begin

Ports

  • TCP port 443

Authentication Method

New Relic uses API Keys for authentication. Specifically, the REST API (v2) requires a User Key (personal API key) associated with a specific user account.

APIs

Axonius uses the New Relic REST API (v2).

Permissions

The following permissions are required:

  • The user account associated with the API Key must have permissions to view and access entities (such as Applications, Hosts, and Services) across the accounts from which data is being fetched.
  • The key inherits the permissions assigned to the user; therefore, the user must have a role (e.g., Read/View or Admin) that grants visibility into the relevant New Relic products (APM, Infrastructure, etc.).

Supported From Version

Supported from Axonius version 4.5

Optional Parameters

  1. Verify SSL (default: false) - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
  2. HTTPS Proxy - Connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.
  3. HTTPS Proxy User Name - The user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.
  4. HTTPS Proxy Password - The password to use when connecting to the server using the HTTPS Proxy.

  5. Select Gateway – Select the Axonius Gateway to use when connecting adapters whose sources are only accessible by an internal network and not from the primary Axonius instance, which may be an Axonius-hosted (SaaS) instance or Customer-hosted (on-premises / private cloud). To use this option, you need to set up an Axonius Gateway.
