Grafana Labs and New Relic have announced a partnership to enhance the integration of their observability tools, emphasizing the importance of being database-agnostic to provide a comprehensive view of data from various sources. Grafana will now serve as a frontend for New Relic's Telemetry Data Platform, allowing open-source Grafana users to utilize built-in support for PromQL and connect with New Relic, while Grafana Enterprise customers benefit from a native NRQL plugin. This collaboration highlights the growing prominence of Prometheus, with Grafana as a key visualization tool and New Relic offering robust support for Prometheus as a backend, thereby expanding developers' options for managing their data. The partnership aims to strengthen both communities by leveraging the strengths of both platforms and offering features like scalability and security tailored for large organizations, along with a trial period for Grafana Enterprise.
