Integrate with New Relic

While there are multiple ways to send external Prometheus data to New Relic, only the Prometheus remote write integration option is relevant to Astra Streaming.

Prerequisites

Review Monitor streaming tenants.
Set up a New Relic account.
Save your New Relic license key locally.

Prepare the extra Prometheus server

Install an extra Prometheus server to act as a bridge to forward scraped Astra Streaming metrics to New Relic.

This is required because Astra Streaming is a managed service, and you can’t modify the Astra Streaming Prometheus server as required by the New Relic Prometheus write integration.

Configure New Relic

Configure the remoteWrite integration on your local Prometheus server. For more information, see Set up your Prometheus remote write integration.

This example uses a local Prometheus server installed in a local Docker Desktop Kubernetes cluster. Your remoteWrite configuration depends on your Prometheus server setup.

In your New Relic account, click Add Data.
Under Open source monitoring, select Prometheus Remote Write Integration.
Enter the name of your local Prometheus server, such as prometheus-docker-desktop, and then click Generate URL. This generates the endpoint URLs required to configure a remote_write integration on your local Prometheus server.

Create a Kubernetes secret with your New Relic license key:

kubectl create secret generic nr-license-key --from-literal=value=LICENSE_KEY

In your extra Prometheus server’s custom-values.yaml file, add the remoteWrite configuration to send local Prometheus metrics to New Relic through remote_write:

custom-values.yaml

prometheus:
   prometheusSpec:
      scrapeInterval: 60s
      evaluationInterval: 15s
      additionalScrapeConfigsSecret:
         enabled: true
         name: SECRET_NAME
         key: CONFIG_YAML

      remoteWrite:
        - url: https://metric-api.newrelic.com/prometheus/v1/write?prometheus_server=CLUSTER_NAME
          authorization:
            credentials:
              key: value
              name: nr-license-key

Restart your local Prometheus server.
In your New Relic account, go to the Remote Write Dashboard to confirm that Astra Streaming metrics are visible in New Relic.
