Get all the insights with none of the hassle with New Relic APM + OpenTelemetry Convergence
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has announced the general availability of its APM + OpenTelemetry Convergence, which aims to integrate OpenTelemetry (OTel) data into its existing application performance monitoring (APM) platform seamlessly. This convergence provides users with a unified observability experience by normalizing OTel data to conform with New Relic's APM semantic conventions, allowing for consistent monitoring, querying, and visualization across applications, whether instrumented with New Relic agents or OTel. The integration supports all major OTel languages and requires no additional configuration, enabling users to leverage New Relic's enterprise-grade analytics, AI-powered troubleshooting, and scalable backend. This approach seeks to eliminate data silos, offer flexibility, and future-proof instrumentation strategies without vendor lock-in, thus streamlining the transition between or combination of New Relic and OpenTelemetry tools.
