New Relic’s OpenTelemetry .NET Offering Reaches V1.0

OpenTelemetry, an open-source project backed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, offers a unified standard for service instrumentation by merging OpenTracing and OpenCensus, allowing for standardized collection and transfer of telemetry data to various backends, such as New Relic. New Relic has integrated OpenTelemetry into its Telemetry Data Platform, enabling users to ingest, visualize, and analyze data from distributed systems, enhancing the ability to diagnose and optimize application performance. The integration supports multiple methods of data ingestion, including the OpenTelemetry Collector and language-specific exporters for .NET, Java, and Go, providing users with tools to instrument services and send telemetry data to New Relic. With Full-Stack Observability, users can quickly identify and resolve performance issues by visualizing metrics like response time, throughput, and error rate, allowing for detailed transaction analysis and end-to-end tracing. As OpenTelemetry continues to grow, New Relic is committed to evolving its offerings to provide enhanced observability features, encouraging feedback through its Explorers Hub.
