Integration with New Relic

Last published : Sep 30, 2026
You can now integrate NetScaler® ADM with New Relic to view analytics for WAF and Bot violations in your New Relic dashboard. With this integration, you can:
  • Combine all other external data sources in your New Relic dashboard.
  • Get visibility of analytics in a centralized place.
NetScaler ADM collects Bot and WAF events, and sends them to New Relic either in real time or periodically based on your choice. As an administrator, you can also view the Bot and WAF events in your New Relic dashboard.

New Relic dashboard

When the events are exported in New Relic, you can view event details under Metrics & events in the following JSON format:
<subsription_name>_adm_<event name> where event name can be Bot, WAF, and so on.
In the following example, ADMSTAGING is the <subscription_name> and bot is the <event_name>.
Dashboard
Once you get the JSON data ingested into your New Relic dashboard, as an administrator, you can use the NRQL (New Relic Query Language) and create a custom dashboard with facets and widgets based on your choice by constructing queries around the ingested data. For more information, see https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/nrql-new-relic-query-language/get-started/introduction-nrql-new-relics-query-language/
The following is an example dashboard created using the NRQL:
Example dashboard
To create this dashboard, the following queries are required:
  • Widget 1: Total Unique Attacks in events table
    SELECT count(total_attacks) from <event_name> since 30 days ago
  • Widget 2: Unique Transaction IDs in event table
    SELECT uniqueCount(transaction_id) from <event_name> since 30 days ago
  • Widget 3: Total Unique Bot Types and their counts
    SELECT uniqueCount(bot_type_desc), uniques(bot_type_desc) from <event_name> since 30 days ago
  • Widget 4: Total unique App Names seeing Bot Violations
    SELECT uniques(appname) from <event_name> since 30 days ago
