Correlate OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs with Kubernetes performance data

Kubernetes' integration with New Relic offers developers a unified platform to monitor and correlate application and infrastructure performance metrics, enhancing their ability to resolve issues efficiently. By using OpenTelemetry (OTel) to capture application-level data and integrating it with Kubernetes infrastructure metrics, New Relic provides a comprehensive view of telemetry data. This integration involves setting up the OTel collector with environment-specific metadata, allowing developers to visualize their OTel and Kubernetes data in a single interface. Additionally, the OpenTelemetry collector can be deployed as an agent across the cluster, enriching telemetry data with infrastructure-specific information. This approach helps reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by enabling quick identification of errors and performance issues, while also offering seamless navigation between application and infrastructure monitoring within New Relic's interface.
