This is the official Helm charts repository for New Relic. It is indexed at [Helm Hub][helm-hub], where you can find the list of available charts and their documentation.
- Helm CLI (install instructions)
- New Relic account
To install the New Relic Helm charts, add the official repository first:
helm repo add newrelic https://helm-charts.newrelic.com
You can list all the available charts from the newrelic
repository using helm search
:
helm search repo newrelic/
To install one of the charts, run helm install
passing the name of the chart to install and the values you want to set as arguments. You can find a list of all the values and their defaults in the documentation of each chart.
The following example installs the nri-bundle
chart, which groups multiple New Relic charts into one. nri-bundle
contains:
- New Relic's Kubernetes integration
- New Relic's Kubernetes plugin for logs
- New Relic's Prometheus OpenMetrics integration
- Metadata injection webhook
- Kube state metrics
helm install newrelic-bundle newrelic/nri-bundle \
--set global.licenseKey=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY \
--set global.cluster=YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME \
--set kubeEvents.enabled=true \
--set webhook.enabled=true \
--set prometheus.enabled=true \
--set logging.enabled=true \
--set ksm.enabled=true
helm install newrelic/nri-bundle \
--name newrelic-bundle \
--set global.licenseKey=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY \
--set global.cluster=YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME \
--set kubeEvents.enabled=true \
--set webhook.enabled=true \
--set prometheus.enabled=true \
--set logging.enabled=true \
--set ksm.enabled=true
You can use the Helm CLI to develop a chart and add it to this repository.

Feel free to add different values to the chart.
This repository is configured to accept webhook requests to bump chart versions. Upon receiving a version bump request, a GitHub Action generates a pull request with the requested changes. The pull request must still be merged manually.
A GitHub Personal Access Token for this repository is required. If you have the token, execute the following POST request (tailor client_payload
to your needs):
chart_name
: (required) Name of the helm chart to be bumped.
chart_version
: (optional) If specified the chart version will be set with this value. If left empty the patch version of the chart will be bumped by 1, e.g: 1.2.19 -> 1.2.20
app_version
: (required) Version of the application.
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.everest-preview+json" \
-H "Authorization: token <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
--request POST \
--data '{"event_type": "bump-chart-version", "client_payload": { "chart_name": "simple-nginx", "chart_version": "1.2.3", "app_version": "1.45.7"}}' \
https://api.github.com/repos/newrelic/helm-charts/dispatches
Notice the sample client_payload
object in the request body: the request generates a pull request for the simple-nginx
chart to update app_version
to 1.45.7
and chart_version
to 1.2.3
.
