New Relic : Announcing general availability of New Relic’s native OpenTelemetry support

Today, New Relic announces the general availability (GA) of our native support for OpenTelemetry Line Protocol (OTLP) and OpenTelemetry. New Relic's native support for OpenTelemetry includes GA support for Trace data and early access support for Metrics and Logs with our OTLP ingest capability.

New Relic's native support for OTLP in the Telemetry Data platform features a cost-effective, high-performance observability platform that offers a variety of benefits:

• Long-term storage
• Powerful querying of your telemetry data
• Easy to use dashboards, analytics, and alerting
• Sophisticated applied intelligence

Combining this with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT), which has reached stable statu s, provides you with a powerful observability solution for your AWS workloads and infrastructure.

New Relic has been contributing to and updating our support for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)'s OpenTelemetry open-source project. OpenTelemetry is a set of tools that support instrumenting, generating, collecting, and exporting of metric, log, and trace data. Using this data, you can understand and troubleshoot the performance and behavior of your applications. OpenTelemetry's specifications for Trace data and the SDKs for Java, .NET, and Python are all at version 1.0 and considered stable. Specifications for Metric and Log data, as well as other language SDKs are continuing to evolve.

In April, New Relic announced early access availability of native support for OpenTelemetry ingest via OTLP. OTLP is the default transport protocol for OpenTelemetry and it can be used with any OpenTelemetry-compatible telemetry source. With GA of native support for OpenTelemetry, you can now easily ingest your OpenTelemetry data and get complete visibility into your entire stack in one platform.
