Summary

New Relic simplifies log management by providing fast, reliable, and highly scalable solutions for collecting, managing, and analyzing log data from various sources. It integrates with popular open-source logging tools like Fluentd, Fluent Bit, Logstash, and Amazon CloudWatch, allowing developers and operations teams to gain deeper visibility into application and infrastructure performance data. By bringing contextual data to the logging experience, New Relic enables users to correlate log data with other telemetry to reveal meaningful patterns and trends in their applications and infrastructure. The company's logs in context feature adds metadata that links log data with related data like error or trace information, allowing users to quickly identify and resolve issues by narrowing down from all logs to the exact log lines needed. New Relic offers a Kubernetes integration that provides in-depth information about cluster performance and reports on data and metadata about nodes, namespaces, deployments, ReplicaSets, pods, clusters, and containers. The company also provides plugins for FluentBit and Logstash to capture Kubernetes logs and send them to New Relic. By enabling logs in context for Java applications running in Kubernetes clusters, users can correlate log messages with related error traces or distributed traces, making it easier to troubleshoot production incidents and connect their log data with other telemetry data.
