Automate Your New Relic Tasks With the New Relic CLI From IBM

The New Relic CLI tool, developed by IBM and open-sourced under the Apache License 2.0, is designed to streamline the management of New Relic resources by automating processes and reducing boilerplate code, thus supporting Agile and DevOps teams in enhancing their deployment speed and cadence. Available on GitHub, this command-line interface allows users to manage tasks such as creating, editing, and deleting New Relic Synthetics monitors, alerts, and dashboards, as well as backing up and restoring configurations. The tool is particularly useful for users looking to integrate New Relic tasks into their CI/CD workflows, as it supports proxy configurations, retries, and includes return codes for automation. It also facilitates sharing configurations across teams by saving settings to source-control tools like GitHub or BitBucket. Adilson Somensari, a senior solutions architect and the blog post's author, emphasizes that the CLI offers practical solutions for managing modern monitoring architectures, though these solutions are environment-specific and not part of New Relic's commercial offerings.
