New Relic data stops reporting after the sub-account is auto-deactivated
New Relic dashboards and APM views in AEM as a Cloud Service can suddenly stop showing data, displaying blank charts or redirecting to the generic New Relic landing page. To fix the issue, reactivate the sub-account in Cloud Manager and run a deployment pipeline to reinject the license key and resume data ingestion.
Description description
Environment
- Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS)
- Cloud Manager
- New Relic (New Relic One sub-account)
Issue/Symptoms
- New Relic dashboards show no data (blank charts).
- APM services redirect to the generic New Relic landing page with no AEM applications listed.
- Cloud Manager displays Activate New Relic instead of Open New Relic.
- Data stops on a specific date with no further telemetry.
Root cause:
New Relic One sub-accounts for AEMaaCS automatically disable after 30 days (previously 60 days) without user login activity. When the sub-account is disabled, the APM agent in all environments stops sending telemetry. Data does not resume until the sub-account is manually reactivated and the license key is reinjected into the services through a Cloud Manager deployment pipeline.
How to confirm
- In Cloud Manager, open the New Relic monitoring view and check for an Activate New Relic button, which indicates the sub-account is disabled.
- Confirm that telemetry stopped on a specific date and that charts are blank.
- Confirm that no user logged in to the New Relic sub-account for 30 or more days.
Resolution resolution
To fix the issue,
- Check whether the sub-account is disabled. In Cloud Manager, go to Program
>Environments>Monitoring>New Relic and look for an Activate New Relic or Activate sub-account button. If you only see Open New Relic, skip to step 3. - Reactivate the sub-account. Select Activate New Relic and confirm activation. The program returns to the Active state, and the button changes to Open New Relic.
- Run a deployment pipeline to reinject the New Relic license key. Trigger a full-stack or deployment pipeline for each affected environment (Prod, Stage, Dev) and confirm it completes successfully.
- Verify data ingestion. In New Relic, go to APM & Services and select the environment (Author, Publish, Preview). Charts repopulate with JVM, transaction, and response metrics within a few minutes, and timestamps should be current.
- Validate that dashboards and APM entities that were previously blank now load live data, confirming at least one metric (such as response time or CPU) is updating.
- If telemetry does not resume after the pipeline completes, contact Adobe Support with the program ID, affected environment IDs, a screenshot of the Cloud Manager activation state, the timestamp when data stopped, and confirmation of whether anyone logged in to New Relic within the last 30 days.
