Nerdlog Roundup: Our Browser Monitoring Agent Is Open Source
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic is dedicated to promoting open observability, which entails using open standards and ensuring observability functions by default for everyone. The company supports open exchange, collaborative participation, and community-driven development by open sourcing its documentation, Pixie, integrations, SDKs, and instrumentation agents, including New Relic Browser. This browser monitoring tool offers real user monitoring (RUM) capabilities for measuring site speed and performance across various browsers, devices, and networks. The commitment to open source was discussed in a Nerdlog episode by Senior Product Manager Rebecca Rodriguez and Lead Software Engineer Martin Kuba, who demonstrated how to install and configure the Browser agent, and contribute through issues or pull requests. New Relic encourages users to engage with its open source initiatives, subscribe to Nerdlog updates, and participate in the live discussions on Twitch. The blog post underscores that the views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily of New Relic, and readers are invited to join the Explorers Hub for further discussions and support.
