Installation

This is available on the Python Package Index (PyPI). You can install using pip.

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install nrde

To install the development version, run:

pip install https://github.com/AnthonyBloomer/dashboard-exporter/archive/dev.zip

Usage

The first step is export your Personal API Key as an environment variable.

export NEW_RELIC_PERSONAL_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

If you have an EU based account, you will also need to export the NEW_RELIC_REGION environment variable:

export NEW_RELIC_REGION = "EU"

Then pass the GUID of a given Dashboard to the exporter function to download a snapshot of your dashboard. You can get the GUID by pressing the info button in your dashboard.

import os
import time

from dashboard_exporter import exporter
import mimetypes

output = exporter(guid="The New Relic Dashboard GUID", file_type="PDF",)

content_type = output.headers["content-type"]
extension = mimetypes.guess_extension(content_type)

output_directory = os.getcwd()
filename = int(time.time())

of = "%s/%s%s" % (output_directory, filename, extension)

with open(of, "wb") as f:
    f.write(output.content)
    f.close()
