How to See Metrics of Your Chaos Experiments in Steadybit With New Relic

Steadybit provides the capability to connect various monitoring tools, including New Relic, to observe the outcomes of chaos experiments in real-time. This blog post, being part of a series on integrating metrics in Steadybit, focuses on setting up the connection to New Relic, an observability platform that helps engineers optimize software across different infrastructures. The integration allows for two-way interaction: monitoring specific events from New Relic during experiment execution and pushing Steadybit events to New Relic. The configuration process involves setting up a "State Check" via REST API, using the New Relic Base URL and REST API Key. Once configured, the New Relic Event Log automatically tracks all state checks during experiment execution, enhancing security and control. The series promises further insights, with upcoming discussions on integrating other tools like Instana.
