Configure HCP Vault metric streaming to New Relic

For details on metrics scope and interpretation, see the HCP Vault metrics documentation.

Prerequisites

To configure metrics streaming to New Relic, you will need to have:

• A HCP account with Admin or Contributor role assigned in HCP

• A production grade HCP Vault cluster

• Access to New Relic with permission to retrieve the Ingest License Key

  Note

  If you do not have a cluster running, refer to the Create a Vault Cluster on HCP or the Deploy HCP Vault with Terraform tutorial to create an HCP Vault cluster.

Enable metrics streaming

1. From the HCP Vault cluster Overview page, select the Metrics view.

2. Click Enable streaming.

3. From the Stream Vault metrics view, select New Relic as the provider and click Next.
