How to Change or Edit newrelic License key?

November 24, 2020 comments off

You can not Change or Edit newrelic License key without newrelic support team help. However, you can use this NerdGraph to create additional license keys and manage the ones you’ve created. Note that you can’t use this NerdGraph functionality to manage or delete your original license keys;

Use NerdGraph to manage license keys and personal API keys. NerdGraph’s ApiAccess field can be used to programmatically create and manage the following types of keys:

  • Personal API keys
  • License keys, including:
    General license key used for APM
    Browser license key

General notes about NerdGraph functionality:

  • All mutations can accept multiple keys as arguments, and will return details about successful changes and errors. See examples below for details.
  • All mutations (create, update and delete) will result in an NrAuditEvent that can be queried for auditing purposes. For details, see Audit events.

Some notes about license keys:

  • In the context of using NerdGraph, the license keys are referred to as ingest keys.
  • This feature allows you to create up to 1,000 keys of each license key type, which allows for key rotation.
  • You can’t use this NerdGraph functionality to manage or delete your original license keys; you can only create additional license keys and manage the ones you’ve created.
  • License keys created through NerdGraph can’t be found in the New Relic UI. They’re only queryable via the API.

Some notes about personal API keys:

  • In the context of using NerdGraph, personal API keys are referred to as user keys.
  • User keys are displayed in various UI locations (for example: the User settings UI page).

Some important fact about original newrelic License key

  • No one with your license key can see or make changes to your account settings, personal information, or payment methods
  • No one with your license key can see or make changes to your data
  • Nevertheless, anyone with your license key may report data to your account thereby compromising the integrity of your data
  • If we reset your license key you will need to update the license key in each and every app you want reporting to your account
  • If we reset your license key your historical data will remain accessible
  • The only alternative to this, other than doing nothing, is to open a new account. This will not port over your historical data
  • Only the current account owner can authorize this change, so I would need to reach out for verification
