New Relic Debuts Support Features for OpenTelemetry

New Relic Deepens Commitment to Open Source with One-Step Observability for OpenTelemetry

With this launch, organisations can now instrument Kubernetes clusters and hosts using the OpenTelemetry collector and Prometheus Node Exporter in a single step.

New Relic, an all-in-one observability platform for every engineer, announced that it will now provide native support for OpenTelemetry and Prometheus-instrumented hosts and Kubernetes clusters.

New Relic Chief Product Officer Manav Khurana, said, “Open source frameworks like OpenTelemetry are an integral part of the tech stack, and that reliance continues to grow. Most observability platforms only offer primitive support for these tools. There needs to be a shift in the industry to meet developers where they are.”

“That is why we offer native support for OpenTelemetry in our platform. We are now simplifying observability for engineers using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus so they can spend less time on instrumentation, setup, and troubleshooting and more time on what matters most to them – shipping code and driving innovation,” Manav added.

With this launch, organisations can now instrument Kubernetes clusters and hosts using the OpenTelemetry collector and Prometheus Node Exporter in a single step. They also gain instant access to curated UIs that automatically correlate performance across applications and infrastructure.

New Relic’s native support populates golden signals in its native UIs for hosts and Kubernetes, with automatic correlation between application and infrastructure telemetry.
