Connect New Relic

New Relic states what your organization consumed, not what it costs. CostReveal reads the consumption and prices it at the rates on your order form, so every New Relic figure is an estimate, and Home says so.

What CostReveal reads

• Data ingest: the month's billable GB, as New Relic counts it after any free allowance, priced at your GB rate and divided among each day's accounts and data sources, such as metrics or logs, by the GB each ingested. The parts add up to the month exactly.
• Users: the month's billable full platform and core users, at your rate for each.
• Compute: each day's core and advanced compute capacity units of each account, at your rate for each.

A kind you give no rate for is counted, not priced.

Set it up

1. In Connections, choose Connect next to New Relic.
2. In New Relic, under API keys, create a user key for someone who can see the organization's usage and billing.
3. Enter the region, the organization's reporting account ID, where its consumption is kept, and the key.
4. Enter your rates and their currency. The GB rate is required; the others are optional.

CostReveal reads the account's consumption before saving anything. If something is wrong, it says which: a key New Relic does not know in that region, a user who cannot read the account, or an account with no consumption.

The key is stored encrypted and never shown again. Deleting it in New Relic ends access at once. Changing your rates prices the current and previous month again in full; earlier months keep the rates they were read at.

Freshness

New Relic records consumption by the hour. CostReveal reads every six hours, and reads the current and previous month each time. The first read also brings in the twelve months before the current one, as far as New Relic holds them. Where New Relic holds no older months, Connections says how far back it reached, and each read asks again.
