Dashboard Export to File or Slack

This project contains two examples:

• export.js: a simple node command line script that lets you request a dashboard snapshot from New Relic and downloads as a PDF or send to slack as a message.
• monitor.js: a New Relic Synthetic monitor script that can send a New Relic Dashboard snapshot to slack. Includes optional check for alert condition.

Installing

For the export.js script simply run npm install to install dependencies. For the New Relic synthetic monitor simply add to your script, setup the two necessary secure credentials.

Running the CLI

To run you need a valid user license key and the GUID of the dashboard. (To find the GUID click the "i" icon next to the dashboard name). For the slack version you need to setup a slack webhook and provide it.

Examples:

Download as PDF:

./export.js --guid "dashboard-guid-here" --apikey "api-key-here" --filename "myfilename" --format="pdf" 

Slack:

./export.js --guid "dashboard-guid-here" --apikey "api-key-here" --slack "https://slack-webhook-url" --subject "Example subject line" --link "https://some-link-here"

Multi-page dashboards

For multiple page dashboards, each page will be sent to slack or written to file seperately. For slack the subject line will have the dashboard title appended. For file output the files will be numbered in sequence.
