Usage Example

Configuration file

The configuration file contains the information to interact with NewRelic API endpoint, either via RESTFul API or Graphql.

Create a JSON file contains the API Key, the example is like the following

{
    "endpoint": "https://api.newrelic.com/graphql",
    "api_key": "<user_api_key>",
    "account_id": "<numeric_account_id>"
}

Let's say the file is located at $HOME/my-account.json. To use this file, you need to specify it in the environment variable NEWRELIC_PYTHON_CLIENT_JSON

export NEWRELIC_PYTHON_CLIENT_JSON=.config/wats-ng-dev.json 

Configuration file places

Search order

1. $HOME/.newrelic-python-client.json
2. $HOME/.config/newrelic-python-client.json
3. $CWD/newrelic-python-client.json
4. Specified by environment $NEWRELIC_PYTHON_CLIENT_JSON

The one with larger number will overwrite the one with smaller number.

1. You can put the JSON configuration file to $HOME/.newrelic-python-client.json and the configuration will take effect.
2. And then you add a new file in $HOME/.config/newrelic-python-client.json, and this one will take effect, $HOME/.newrelic-python-client.json will no longer take effect.
3. Then you add a new file in $CWD/newrelic-python-client.json, then only this one will take effect.
4. And finally, if you specify the file by environment variable, the environment variable become the only one that take effect.

Log level

The default log level is set to "INFO". You can change it by updating the environment variable NR_LOG_LEVEL.

The possible log levels are

• TRACE
• DEBUG
• INFO
• WARNING
• ERROR

The full list can be found in loguru document the "The severity levels" section.

The following command set the log level to TRACE and run the script.

NR_LOG_LEVEL="TRACE" python src/newrelic.py synthetic secure_credential put --key SPS_ID_TOKEN --value 123  

Secure Credential

List secure credentials

python src/newrelic.py synthetic secure_credential list

Update or Create secure credentials

python src/newrelic.py synthetic secure_credential put --key SPS_ID_TOKEN --value 123

If the key SPS_ID_TOKEN already exist in your secure credentials storage, this command will update the existing credential. If the key does not exist, this command will create a new credential.

Scripted Browser Monitors

List scripted browser monitors

NR_LOG_LEVEL="TRACE" python src/newrelic.py synthetic scripted_browser list

Update or Create scripted browser monitor

NR_LOG_LEVEL="INFO" python src/newrelic.py synthetic scripted_browser put --monitor-name "AUTO CREATE"
