Understanding Your Results

Metrics are posted to metric-api.newrelic.com as cron.job.duration_seconds with tags for job name, status (success/failure), and exit code.

What is this?

A DevOps utility that wraps scheduled cron jobs with New Relic Metric API telemetry and failure alerts.

How does it work?

Requires a valid New Relic Ingest / Insert License Key with Metric API ingest permissions.
