Harnessing the power of open source Prometheus metrics in New Relic

Prometheus, an open-source tool developed by SoundCloud and now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, is highly effective for real-time monitoring of applications, particularly Kubernetes clusters, due to its dimensional data model and powerful query language, PromQL. Integrating Prometheus with New Relic One enhances its scalability and storage capabilities, offering long-term storage, role-based access control, and customizable dashboards for data visualization. This integration allows users to import Prometheus metrics into New Relic, thereby reducing overhead and improving application observability. Users can query Prometheus metrics using PromQL or NRQL within New Relic and set up alerts to monitor application performance, making it a versatile tool for managing and visualizing metrics. The integration is achieved through remote write or Prometheus OpenMetrics Integration, and New Relic provides robust alert options and the ability to translate between PromQL and NRQL for seamless data analysis and incident management.
