New Relic

Connecting Hawkeye to your New Relic account allows for the collection of application and infrastructure telemetry, including metrics, traces, and logs.

These data help with real-time monitoring and alerting through the Hawkeye dashboard.

You’ll need to authenticate using a New Relic API Key and Account ID.
