Stream Every Files.com File-Activity Event Into New Relic

Files.com, the File Orchestration Platform, keeps a record of everything that happens to your files: every upload, download, failed transfer, automation run, and user action. This integration sends that record straight into New Relic as it happens, so file events live on the same dashboards your team already uses to watch system health.

Why Teams Stream Files.com Into New Relic

Your team already streams app and server data into New Relic. File activity is usually the piece that sits off on its own. An SFTP job fails mid-batch overnight. A partner uploads critical data that kicks off other work. A transfer arrives corrupt. Files.com becomes a New Relic log source and sends its own activity in.

File Events Sit Next To App Metrics

Files.com sends uploads, downloads, failed transfers, automation runs, and user actions into New Relic the moment they happen. You watch and alert on file activity right beside the rest of your stack, instead of leaving it off on its own.

Sends Straight To New Relic

Files.com sends events directly into New Relic through its Log API, secured with a license key. There's no New Relic agent to install and no forwarder to run in between.

You Choose Which Logs Stream

Everything streams by default. If you only want some of it, pick what each New Relic instance gets, so each team sees only the activity it watches.

A Tamper-Proof Record Behind The Stream

The events come from the Files.com audit log, which can't be edited and is kept for 7+ years. New Relic does the charts and alerts; Files.com holds the original, trustworthy record.

Scales With The Rest Of Your Stack

Files.com processes billions of transactions a week, so a busy, multi-user file environment is normal load, not an edge case. New Relic takes in and tags the events like any other feed.

The Control New Relic Watches But Doesn't Provide

New Relic reads the events. It doesn't decide who can touch which files or keep the record of what they did. Files.com does that part: access folder by folder, every action written to a record that can't be changed, and the same company logins your team already uses.

Give People Access To Only Their Folders

Hand each team, project, or person the exact folders they need. The person you see on a New Relic dashboard is the same account Files.com controls access for.

A Record Of Everything That Happens

Every login, upload, download, and permission change is written to the Files.com audit log, and nothing in it can be altered after the fact. That record is what makes the events in New Relic count as audit evidence.

The Same Logins Your Company Already Uses

People sign in with your company login through SSO and SAML, and SCIM keeps accounts in sync with your directory. When someone leaves, you cut their file access in one place.

Delivery That's Encrypted And Logged

The stream to New Relic is encrypted and runs with a license key. Files.com also logs the act of sending, so if a delivery fails you can see it and look into it.

Connect New Relic The Way That Fits Your Workload

Live Stream Into New Relic

Files.com sends each event into New Relic the moment it happens, ready for dashboards and alerts. This is an Enterprise-plan feature; it isn't on Starter or Power.

Drop Log Files In A Folder

Files.com can also write log files to a folder on a schedule you set, from every 5 minutes up to every 6 hours. Run it alongside the live stream for batch ingest, a long-term archive, or a locked-down network.

How Teams Use New Relic On Files.com

Watch A Media Pipeline From End To End

A post-production team moves big video files between editors, partners, and render services, and each transfer kicks off the next step. Files.com sends every transfer into New Relic, where ops watch timing, throughput, and errors next to app metrics. They catch delays before those delays hit a release date.

Get Alerted On A Bad Delivery Right Away

When a file is late, arrives corrupt, or comes from somewhere it shouldn't, the event is already on its way to New Relic. Your team gets the alert before the problem derails the work.

Find The Cause Faster

When a nightly SFTP batch fails, your team jumps from the failed transfer in New Relic straight into the surrounding app and server logs. It’s the same screen, so you find the cause in minutes instead of hunting across systems.

Trace Everything An Account Touched

After a security question, your team searches New Relic for every file an account touched: uploads, downloads, permission changes. Each event traces back to the tamper-proof Files.com record, so the answer holds up as evidence.

Frequently Asked: New Relic On Files.com

How Files.com streams into New Relic, which plan you need, and what happens to your events when a delivery fails.

Files.com sends events straight into New Relic through its Log API, secured with a license key. Events arrive in JSON to New Relic's log management, and there is no forwarder to set up in between.

Files.com streams file uploads and downloads, failed transfers, automation runs, user actions, and API calls. They land next to your app and server data. Everything streams by default, and you choose which log types each New Relic instance gets.

No. Files.com streams to New Relic on the Enterprise plan only, not on Starter or Power. Starter also keeps only one week of logs.

No. Files.com records every event in a tamper-proof audit log and streams those events into New Relic as they happen. New Relic runs the dashboards, alerts, anomaly detection, and storage. Files.com delivers the events; New Relic does the monitoring work.

Files.com keeps its tamper-proof audit log for 7+ years, independent of how long the same events live in New Relic. New Relic governs its own retention by data tier; the Files.com record stays the long-term system of record for who did what to which file.

Yes. Alongside the live New Relic Log API stream, Files.com can write the same activity log as JSON or CSV files to a folder on a schedule, either to its own storage or, through the Files.com Agent, to a server you control. Teams use the live stream for monitoring and the file delivery for a long-term archive.

Files.com retries a failed New Relic delivery automatically, every 60 seconds for the first five minutes and then every 15 minutes. Nothing is lost while the endpoint is down: every event stays in the tamper-proof Files.com audit log, and Event Channels can alert your team the moment a delivery fails.

Files.com log streaming batches and forwards complete audit log categories to New Relic roughly every 60 seconds. Event Channels deliver individual operational events, such as SSO failures, user lockouts, and automation failures, to a webhook, Slack, Teams, SNS, or Pub/Sub target the moment they occur.

Yes. Files.com streams to multiple destinations at once, each with its own selection of log types. Observability data can flow to New Relic while the same events feed the security team's SIEM, with each stream trimmed independently.
