Introducing New Relic’s Dynamic Baseline Alerts
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has introduced Dynamic Baseline Alerts, leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning to provide more accurate insights into increasingly complex software environments. This feature, previewed at FutureStack16, addresses the challenges posed by dynamic software systems, such as the rapid evolution from monolithic applications to microservices and server-less stacks. By analyzing historical data for recent behavior, trends, and seasonality, Dynamic Baseline Alerts create predictive alert thresholds, allowing operations teams to better manage systems with unknown or dynamic performance profiles. These alerts offer minute-scale granularity and a Chart Preview feature for fine-tuning thresholds, enabling faster alert configuration even with limited data. Currently in limited release, New Relic plans to roll out Dynamic Baseline Alerts to customers in phases, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the risk of false alarms.
