Rocketgraph can pull telemetry data from your New Relic account. You create a read-only user API key in New Relic, then add it in Rocketgraph.

​
Prerequisites

  • A New Relic account with data you want to query
  • Permission to manage API keys in New Relic
  • A Rocketgraph account — sign up here

​
1. Create a read-only user in New Relic

New Relic access is controlled through roles. To create a user with read-only permissions:
  1. Go to Administration → User Management → Users
  2. Click Add user
  3. Fill in the user details and assign the Read only base role
  4. Set the user type to Basic user (no full-platform access needed)
  5. Click Save
If you prefer to use your own account’s API key, you can skip creating a new user and proceed directly to creating the key — but a dedicated read-only user is recommended for least-privilege access.

​
2. Create a User API key

  1. Go to one.newrelic.com → API Keys
  2. Click Create a key
  3. Set Key type to User
  4. Select the read-only user you created above
  5. Give the key a name (e.g. Rocketgraph datasource) and click Create a key
  6. Copy the key — you will need it in the next step
You can only view the key once. Copy it before closing the dialog.

​
3. Add New Relic as a datasource in Rocketgraph

  1. Log in to Rocketgraph
  2. Navigate to the Datasources tab
  3. Click Add datasource and select New Relic
  4. Enter your:
    • Account ID (found under Administration → Account settings)
    • User API Key
  5. Click Save — Rocketgraph will verify the connection
Once connected, your New Relic metrics, traces, and logs will be available for querying and AI analysis in Rocketgraph.
