Nextcloud integration

With our Nextcloud dashboard, you can easily track the number of files in your system, your user accounts, and your database size. Built with our infrastructure agent and Prometheus OpenMetrics integration, the Nextcloud integration gives you a set of default dashboards that let you view your most critical data all in one place.

Install the infrastructure agent

To get data into New Relic, install our infrastructure agent. Our infrastructure agent collects and ingests data so you can keep track of your app’s performance.

You can install the infrastructure agent two different ways:

• Our guided install is a CLI tool that inspects your system and installs the infrastructure agent alongside the application monitoring agent that best works for your system. To learn more about how our guided install works, check out our Guided install overview.
• If you'd rather install our infrastructure agent manually, you can follow a tutorial for manual installation for Linux, Windows, or macOS.

Configure NRI-Flex for Nextcloud

Flex comes bundled with the New Relic infrastructure agent. To create a flex configuration file follow these steps:

Metrics for Nextcloud are available at the following URL: http://<YOUR_HOST_IP>/ocs/v2.php/apps/serverinfo/api/v1/info?format=json

1. Create a file named nri-flex-nextcloud.yml in /etc/newrelic-infra/integrations.d

2. Use our configuration template to update the fields EVENT_TYPE and YOUR_DOMAIN in the file named nri-flex-nextcloud.yml. The value on the event_type is used to store metrics on the NRDB. For example, you can update EVENT_TYPE to NextcloudFlexMetrics

Your nri-flex-nextcloud.yml file should look like this:

integrations:
  - name: nri-flex
    config:
      name: nextcloudFlex
      global:
        base_url: http://<YOUR_HOST_IP>/ocs/v2.php/apps/serverinfo/api/v1/
        user: <nextcloud_username>
        pass: <nextcloud_password>
      apis:
        - event_type: EVENT_TYPE
          url: info?format=json

Forward Nextcloud logs to New Relic

You can use log forwarding to forward Nextcloud logs to New Relic.

On Linux machines, your log file named logging.yml should be placed in /etc/newrelic-infra/logging.d/

After creating the log file, add the following script to the logging.yml file:

logs:
  - name: nextcloud.log
    file: /var/www/nextcloud/data/nextcloud.log
    attributes:
      logtype: nextcloud_log

Restart the New Relic infrastructure agent

1. Before you can start using your data, restart your infrastructure agent.

   bash

   Copy

   $
   sudo systemctl restart newrelic-infra.service

2. Install the Nextcloud quickstart to get our pre-built dashboards.

Find your data

You can choose our pre-built dashboard template named Nextcloud to monitor your Nextcloud server metrics. Follow these steps to use our pre-built dashboard template:

1. From one.newrelic.com, go to the + Add data page.
2. Click on Dashboards.
3. In the search bar, type Nextcloud.
4. The Nextcloud dashboard should appear. Click on it to install it.

Your Nextcloud dashboard is considered a custom dashboard and can be found in the Dashboards UI. For docs on using and editing dashboards, see our dashboard docs.

Use this sample query to view your Nextcloud metrics captured on one.newrelic.com:

Here's an example of NRQL query checking the number of active users for the last 5 minutes:

FROM NextcloudFlexMetrics SELECT latest(ocs.data.activeUsers.last5minutes)

Here's an example of NRQL query checking the number of active users in the last 24 hours:

FROM NextcloudFlexMetrics SELECT latest(ocs.data.activeUsers.last24hours)
