New Relic and Microsoft: Intelligent Observability for the Agentic Era
Blog post from New Relic
At the Microsoft Build conference, New Relic showcased its integration with Azure, emphasizing its Intelligent Observability platform that helps manage AI-generated code, distributed services, and autonomous agents beyond human scale. The partnership allows enterprise developers to seamlessly integrate New Relic's tools within their existing Azure infrastructure, enhancing incident response and system performance in sectors like financial services, retail, and technology by offering real-time alerting and dependency mapping. Key developments include the New Relic MCP Server, Azure SRE Agent, and monitoring solutions for Microsoft Foundry and SAP on Azure, which automate incident detection and provide observability context for AI agents. The collaboration aims to embed observability directly into engineering workflows, reducing mean time to resolution and defects, as exemplified by BlackLine's use of New Relic to enhance its financial operations software.
