Credentials to third party services

What’s this?

Butler SOS can interact with certain third party services, such as New Relic.
These services typically require some kind of authentication with associated credentials (username, password etc).
Those credentials are stored in the Butler-SOS.thirdPartyToolsCredentials section of the config file.

New Relic

Zero, one or more New Relic accounts with their respective credentials can be specified.
These accounts can then be used by Butler SOS’ various features.

Note that different Butler SOS features can send their data to different New Relic accounts.
This is specified in each feature’s section in the YAML config file.

Example:

• Sense user events are sent to First NR account
• Sense log events are sent to Second NR account
• Sense RAM usage is sent to both First NR account and Second NR account
