New Relic¶

By enabling this toolset, HolmesGPT will be able to pull traces and logs from New Relic for investigations.

Important: Disable Default Logging Toolset

Only one logging toolset should be enabled at a time. If you enable this toolset, disable the default kubernetes/logs toolset.

Available Log Sources:

Kubernetes logs - Direct pod log access (enabled by default)
Grafana Loki - Centralized logs via Loki
OpenSearch logs - Logs from OpenSearch/Elasticsearch
Coralogix logs - Logs via Coralogix platform
DataDog - Logs from DataDog

💡 Choose one: Only enable one logging toolset at a time for best performance.

Prerequisites¶

A New Relic API Key with necessary permissions to access traces and logs
Your New Relic Account ID

You can find these in your New Relic account under Administration > API keys and Account settings.

Configuration¶

Holmes CLIRobusta Helm Chart

Add the following to ~/.holmes/config.yaml. Create the file if it doesn't exist:

toolsets:
  newrelic:
    enabled: true
    config:
      nr_api_key: "<your New Relic API key>"
      nr_account_id: "<your New Relic account ID>"

  kubernetes/logs:
    enabled: false  # Disable default Kubernetes logging if using New Relic for logs

After making changes to your configuration, run:

holmes toolset refresh

holmes:
  toolsets:
    newrelic:
      enabled: true
      config:
        nr_api_key: "<your New Relic API key>"
        nr_account_id: "<your New Relic account ID>"

    kubernetes/logs:
