Faster orientation during incidents with incident context

New Relic's Applied Intelligence Team has developed an incident context feature for New Relic Alerts that quickly identifies anomalous behavior in applications or hosts, helping users respond to alerts more efficiently. Initially released nine months ago, the feature now automatically detects anomalies in key signals such as throughput, latency, errors, and transactions, covering three of the four "golden signals." These insights are integrated into platforms like PagerDuty, Slack, email, and New Relic's mobile app to provide real-time anomaly information, reducing the need for users to switch tools during an incident. The latest enhancements focus on improved signal coverage for New Relic APM and Infrastructure alerts, a more visual representation of data using sparklines to highlight anomalies, and seamless integration to ensure information is readily accessible. These developments aim to streamline the alert response process, allowing users to quickly identify the root causes of issues with minimal setup required. The team continues to refine the feature, welcoming customer feedback to further improve incident response capabilities.
