Gather New Relic credentials
Each setup method requires you to pass in credentials generated in New Relic. Gather these credentials before you move on.
A user who is a full platform user in New Relic must perform this task.
Create a user API key
Log into New Relic as a full platform user.
At the bottom of the left navigation bar, click your username and select API Keys.
Click Create a key. The Create an API key drawer opens.
Select User as the Key type.
Enter a name for the new API key, such as “ConductorOne”, and add any notes you or your colleagues might need about this key.
Click Create a key.
The new key is generated and added to the list of API keys.
Click the … menu and select Copy key. Carefully save the API key.
That’s it! Next, move on to the instructions for your chosen setup method.
Set up a New Relic cloud-hosted connector
To complete this task, you’ll need:
- The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
- Access to the set of New Relic credentials generated by following the instructions above
In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.
Search for New Relic and click Add.
Choose how to set up the new New Relic connector:
Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
Create a new managed app
Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
Click Next.
Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.
Paste the user API key into the API key field.
Click Save.
The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
That’s it! Your New Relic connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
Set up a New Relic cloud-hosted connector using Terraform
As an alternative to the cloud-hosted setup process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between New Relic and ConductorOne.
See the ConductorOne New Relic integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
Set up a New Relic self-hosted connector
To complete this task, you’ll need:
- The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
- Access to the set of New Relic credentials generated by following the instructions above
When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with ConductorOne, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the ConductorOne UI for access reviews and access requests.
Why use Kubernetes? Kubernetes provides automated deployment, scaling, and management of your connectors. It ensures high availability and reliable operation of your connector services.
Step 1: Configure the New Relic connector
In ConductorOne, navigate to Connectors > Add connector.
Search for Baton and click Add.
Choose how to set up the new New Relic connector:
Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
Create a new managed app
Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
Click Next.
In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.
Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.
Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.
Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files
Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your New Relic connector deployment:
Secrets configuration
# baton-newrelic-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: baton-newrelic-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
# ConductorOne credentials
BATON_CLIENT_ID: <ConductorOne client ID>
BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <ConductorOne client secret>
# New Relic credentials
BATON_APIKEY: <New Relic API key>
# Optional: include if you want ConductorOne to provision access using this connector
BATON_PROVISIONING: true
See the connector’s README or run
--help
to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.
Deployment configuration
# baton-newrelic.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: baton-newrelic
labels:
app: baton-newrelic
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: baton-newrelic
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: baton-newrelic
baton: true
baton-app: newrelic
spec:
containers:
- name: baton-newrelic
image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-newrelic:latest
args: ["service"]
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: baton-newrelic-secrets
Step 3: Deploy the connector
Create a namespace in which to run ConductorOne connectors (if desired):
kubectl create namespace baton-newrelic
Apply the secret configuration:
kubectl -n baton-newrelic apply -f baton-newrelic-secrets.yaml
Apply the deployment:
kubectl -n baton-newrelic apply -f baton-newrelic.yaml
Step 4: Verify the deployment
Check that the deployment is running:
kubectl -n c1 get pods
View the connector logs:
kubectl -n c1 logs -l app=baton-${baton-newrelic}
Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In ConductorOne, click Applications. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the New Relic connector to. New Relic data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.
That’s it! Your New Relic connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
