New Relic

Monitor applications, infrastructure, logs, synthetic checks, and cloud services in New Relic. Configure alerts, manage dashboards, query telemetry data with NRQL, set up synthetic monitors, manage workloads, configure notification channels, and track deployments.

Monitor applications, infrastructure, logs, synthetic checks, and cloud services in New Relic at scale. Configure alert policies and conditions, manage dashboards, query telemetry data with NRQL, set up synthetic monitors, manage workloads, configure notification channels, and track deployments.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure New Relic API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for New Relic again."

Quick Start

bash

# Query telemetry data
clawlink_call_tool --tool "new_relic_execute_nrql_query" \
  --params '{"nrql": "SELECT * FROM Metric TIMESERIES"}'

# List alert policies
clawlink_call_tool --tool "new_relic_get_alert_policies" --params '{}'

# Search entities
clawlink_call_tool --tool "new_relic_search_entities" \
  --params '{"name": "my-app", "type": "APPLICATION"}'

Authentication

All New Relic tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected New Relic account.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the API key securely and injects it into every New Relic NerdGraph request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=new-relic and connect New Relic (requires an active New Relic account).
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

bash

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for new-relic in the list.

Verify Connection

bash

clawlink_list_tools --integration new-relic

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for New Relic.

Reconnect

If New Relic tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=new-relic
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration new-relic

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the connected New Relic account only.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any alert, dashboard, or policy action, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (delete entity, delete dashboard, delete policy, delete user) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• User management operations require authentication domain ID and appropriate permissions.
• API key management requires the key ID (not the actual key value).
• Golden metrics/tags reset restores New Relic defaults and cannot be undone.
• Dashboard deletion can be recovered via new_relic_undelete_dashboard but custom tags are lost.

Search for an entity

bash

clawlink_call_tool --tool "new_relic_search_entities" \
  --params '{"name": "my-service", "type": "APPLICATION"}'

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm New Relic is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration new-relic to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration new-relic.
5. If no New Relic tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=new-relic.

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• New Relic uses NerdGraph (GraphQL) for most operations — both REST API v2 and GraphQL are supported for alert policies.
• Dashboard updates require including all existing pages/widgets with their GUIDs to preserve them — omitting them removes them.
• Lookup tables enrich telemetry data and can be joined in NRQL queries.
• Metric normalization rules help consolidate similar metrics and reduce cardinality.
• Secure credential values are never returned by the API for security reasons.
• APM agent tag changes may require agent restart to take effect.
• Entity deletion requires the entity to not have reported data for at least 12 hours.
• Cross-account alerting must be enabled per account via update_cross_account_elections.
• NRQL queries over 5 seconds should use async_execution mode or increased timeout.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration new-relic.
Missing connection	New Relic is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=new-relic.
Permission error	The authenticated user lacks permission for this operation.
Entity not found	The entity GUID does not exist. Verify with new_relic_search_entities.
Policy not found	The alert policy ID does not exist. Verify with new_relic_get_alert_policies.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.
High-impact action	Destructive action requires explicit user confirmation before execution.
Dashboard update missing GUIDs	When updating a dashboard, all existing pages/widgets must be included with their GUIDs or they will be removed.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   bash

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   bash

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.
