The New Relic Insights Dashboard API—Get More Programmatic Control Over Your Dashboards
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has introduced the Insights Dashboard API, a REST API that provides programmatic control over dashboards within organizations, facilitating faster and more efficient management. By offering endpoints for creating, listing, showing, updating, and deleting dashboards, the API allows users to configure dashboard and widget data in a JSON format, enhancing customization options such as visibility and editing permissions. This tool is particularly valuable for fostering a consistent monitoring culture across teams, creating shared knowledge through dashboard templates, and streamlining the onboarding process for new applications or services. The API reduces manual maintenance, enhances automation, and supports a self-service model for leveraging dashboards organization-wide. Users can get started by generating an API key and utilizing the New Relic API Explorer, with further information available in the documentation.
