Connect APVISO with New Relic

How APVISO Integrates with New Relic

APVISO's New Relic integration sends vulnerability findings as custom events to New Relic One. For teams that use New Relic as their observability platform, this integration adds security posture data to the same platform where you monitor application performance, infrastructure health, and logs.

Custom Events for Vulnerability Data

APVISO sends each finding as a custom event to New Relic's Event API. Events have the type ApvisoFinding and include attributes for vulnerability title, severity, CVSS score, affected endpoint, vulnerability category, scan ID, target domain, and timestamps. These events are immediately available for NRQL queries, dashboards, and alerting.

The Event API approach means APVISO data is a first-class citizen in New Relic. You can query it with the same NRQL syntax used for APM data, infrastructure metrics, and log events.

NRQL-Powered Analysis

With vulnerability data in New Relic, you can write powerful NRQL queries to analyze your security posture. Query examples include counting findings by severity over time, calculating mean time to remediation, identifying the most common vulnerability categories, tracking scan frequency and coverage, and comparing vulnerability counts across targets.

These queries power dashboards, alerts, and reports — all within the New Relic platform your team already knows.

Dashboard Visualization

Build custom dashboards that combine vulnerability data with application metrics. Place a vulnerability severity breakdown next to your application throughput chart, error rate graph, and infrastructure health summary. This unified view helps teams understand security in the context of application and infrastructure health.

APVISO provides pre-built dashboard templates that you can import into New Relic One and customize. Templates include a Security Posture Overview, Remediation Tracking, and Scan Activity dashboard.

Alerting and Incident Management

New Relic's alerting system works with APVISO events. Create NRQL alert conditions that trigger when Critical findings are discovered, when total open findings exceed a threshold, or when a target has not been scanned within your required cadence. Alerts integrate with New Relic's incident management workflow and notification channels.

Correlation with APM Data

The most powerful aspect of the New Relic integration is correlating vulnerability data with application performance data. If APVISO discovers a SQL injection vulnerability in an API endpoint, you can query New Relic APM for that endpoint's transaction traces, throughput, and error rate. This correlation helps prioritize remediation by understanding which vulnerabilities affect the most critical application paths.
