Import all your custom data with just one tool
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic's Flex is a versatile, application-agnostic tool designed to integrate custom data into New Relic's observability platform, providing solutions for diverse IT environments without requiring multiple monitoring tools. Flex operates via New Relic's infrastructure agent and a configuration file, allowing users to collect data from various sources such as CLI commands, external URLs, or API calls, and display it on dashboards or use it for alerts. It supports a wide array of applications, from proprietary ticketing systems to Kubernetes clusters and IoT devices, offering flexibility to meet unique organizational needs. Users only need a basic understanding of New Relic Query Language (NRQL) and YAML to set up Flex, supported by documentation and educational resources. New Relic also offers a GitHub repository with over 200 open-source solutions for custom data integration, encouraging community collaboration and knowledge sharing.
