New Relic Prometheus FIPS Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened New Relic Prometheus FIPS image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

Use the New Relic Prometheus OpenMetrics integration to scrape Prometheus-format metrics from endpoints inside or outside Kubernetes and forward them to the New Relic platform for storage and visualization.

FIPS 140-3 Certification

This image is FIPS-validated to ensure its cryptographic operations meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) required for secure government and regulated environments. Its core cryptographic modules are validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and comply with the FIPS 140-3 standard.

To verify that the FIPS 140-3 provider is configured and active, follow the instructions in the FIPS compliance tab.

Try It Out

Take the Minimus New Relic Prometheus FIPS image for a test run. First, create a configuration file config.yaml, and save the following to the file, replacing the placeholders with the relevant values:

cluster_name: "my_cluster"
targets:
  - description: my_exporter
    urls: ["http://localhost:8080/metrics"]
verbose: false
audit: false
scrape_duration: "30s"

Next, run the container, mounting the config file and passing your New Relic license key as an environment variable:

docker run -d --name newrelic-prometheus \
  -e LICENSE_KEY="{YOUR_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY}" \
  -v ./config.yaml:/config.yaml \
reg.mini.dev/newrelic-prometheus-fips

Log into your New Relic account and run the following NRQL query to confirm data is being reported:

FROM Metric SELECT count(*) WHERE clusterName = 'my_cluster' SINCE 1 hour ago

Technical Considerations

The New Relic Prometheus FIPS image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.

New Relic Prometheus FIPS built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default.
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.

See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
