New Relic drinks straight from the firehose
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic has enhanced its capabilities by integrating with Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, allowing for seamless data ingestion and analysis from various sources, including Amazon CloudWatch Logs, into its platform. This integration enables users to leverage New Relic's open, programmable platform to manage and analyze telemetry data efficiently, reducing the reliance on disconnected monitoring tools that create data silos. By using Kinesis Data Firehose, users can easily configure data streams to automatically forward logs to New Relic without the need for additional applications or resources, simplifying the management and cost estimation of data handling. The blog post provides a detailed guide on setting up the integration with step-by-step instructions on creating and configuring delivery streams and necessary IAM roles, emphasizing the benefits of having a unified view of data for improved software delivery and monitoring. This initiative reflects New Relic’s commitment to providing a comprehensive monitoring solution that includes log management, full-stack observability, and applied intelligence to facilitate proactive incident detection and reduce alert fatigue.
