Usage

Troubleshooting a service is faster when you can jump straight to the GitHub repo to see how it works and who owns it. This integration connects your services and apps in New Relic One to your GitHub repo (either public or private enterprise instances).

Associate any service or application with its GitHub repository as a one-time action and then you can quickly see that application's README file, as well as a list of most active source code contributors.

Open Source License

What do you need to make this work?

1. A GitHub (either public or private enterprise instance) organization and access to New Relic One.
2. The ability to generate a personal access token in GitHub.

Using GitHub Personal Access Tokens

Integration with GitHub requires the user to create or use a private access token as a one-time setup step. This GitHub personal access token increases security, because it ensures each user can only see repositories they have access to. New Relic will store that access token, but the user can easily delete it from New Relic's storage at any time.

We recommend creating a dedicated personal access token for this application only, and you should give that token read only permissions. See GitHub's doc on access tokens for full instructions.

Personal access tokens are stored with New Relic One's UserStorage APIs. UserStorage data is accessible only to the user account and Nerdpack which created it. The data is encrypted in transmission, but is not encrypted at rest (within the underlying database). Because of this, UserStorage data may be accessible to a New Relic employee via an administrative privilege in the platform.

Getting started

First, ensure that you have Git and NPM installed. If you're unsure whether you have one or both of them installed, run the following command(s) (If you have them installed these commands will return a version number, if not, the commands won't be recognized):

git --version
npm -v

Next, clone this repository and run the following scripts:

nr1 nerdpack:clone -r https://github.com/newrelic/nr1-github.git
cd nr1-github
nr1 nerdpack:uuid -gf
npm install
npm start

Deploying this Nerdpack

Open a command prompt in the nerdpack's directory and run the following commands.

# this is to create a new uuid for the nerdpack so that you can deploy it to your account
nr1 nerdpack:uuid -g [--profile=your_profile_name]
# to see a list of APIkeys / profiles available in your development environment, run nr1 profiles:list
nr1 nerdpack:publish [--profile=your_profile_name]
nr1 nerdpack:deploy [-c [DEV|BETA|STABLE]] [--profile=your_profile_name]
nr1 nerdpack:subscribe [-c [DEV|BETA|STABLE]] [--profile=your_profile_name]
