Creating a New Relic Dashboard Connection

When you're setting up your New Relic dashboard connections in Beam, you can choose a direct connection method or you can create a web view and connect it to your New Relic dashboards.

Finding Your New Relic Dashboard URL

No matter how you connect your dashboard in Beam, you'll want to set it to TV mode so charts and graphs do not get cut off on your display. You'll also need to copy the dashboard's URL.

1. Log in to New Relic and select Dashboards on the menu bar.
   
   
   
2. Open the dashboard you want to display.
3. Select the TV mode icon in the upper right corner of the window.
   
   
   When you select TV mode, the toolbars and search field are hidden and the dashboard is sized so you can see all parts of it in one view without needing to scroll.
   
   
4. Copy the URL. This is what you will enter into Beam when you create your dashboard connection.
