Summary

OpenTelemetry is a community-contributed instrumentation standard that enables standardized telemetry data collection from applications and services without vendor lock-in. New Relic now provides an enhanced OpenTelemetry offering with support for OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) over HTTP/1.1, infinite tracing, and curated experiences for ingested data, enabling faster troubleshooting and a seamless transition to OpenTelemetry. To get started, try out OpenTelemetry with your own applications or use the New Relic OpenTelemetry examples. Once instrumented, ingest data into New Relic One using the native OTLP endpoint, which requires only a few steps. View OpenTelemetry data through New Relic's dynamic UI, group, facet, and filter metrics, and utilize curated views for troubleshooting. New Relic Explorer provides real-time monitoring of environments, visualizing emerging issues in real time without relying on static thresholds or dashboards. AutoMaps help identify performance problems, while tracing errors enables root cause analysis with error details and stack traces. The OpenTelemetry offering is ever-evolving, empowering engineers to harness the complete power of New Relic One regardless of instrumentation source.
