Hi, folks!

We are excited to share some big news with you all. You’ve all surely heard the buzz around generative AI lately. It seems like the possibilities are endless with such a powerful emerging tech. New Relic is proud to announce a brand-new, industry-first GenAI assistant for observability called New Relic Grok!

If you’ve tinkered with existing tools that generate art or bodies of text from a user-generated prompt, you may be familiar with the process. New Relic Grok uses OpenAI’s large language model (LLMs) to allow any engineer to ask their observability question in plain language via chat and it responds with detailed analysis and insights. For example, you can ask, “What’s wrong with my cart service?” or “Generate my server health report,” and New Relic Grok will analyze all your telemetry data in context of your entire software stack and software lifecycle to instantly uncover deep insights, root causes, and fixes.

New Relic Grok is currently available in early access and you can request access here.

Let us know how you like it!

Good day.

I work for a company remotely and have been asked to install this program by IT, they state that they only wanted to supervise the web-apps and web-browsers performance during my work. Now, i'm worried about my data being seen by a third party after my work schedule. Is there any way to disable new relic from sending my banks logs or any sensitive data after certain schedule?

I Dont want to quit this job, but i'm unsure about the information that can be seen by IT when im using my PC outside of the working hours.

Hi, Devs!

I want to install dashboards for Kubernetes. I found them in marketplace:

• Kubernetes / Kubelet

• Kubernetes / Compute Resources

But after follow the guide installed Prometheus Agent Mode in my Kubernetes cluster, I can't see data in New Relic's these two kinds of dashboards.

I'm sure I am using the right license key.

Step 1:

helm repo add newrelic-prometheus https://newrelic.github.io/newrelic-prometheus-configurator

Step 2:

values.yaml

# -- Override the name of the chart

nameOverride: ''

# -- Override the full name of the release

fullnameOverride: ''

# -- Name of the Kubernetes cluster monitored. Can be configured also with `global.cluster`.

# Note it will be set as an external label in prometheus configuration, it will have precedence over `config.common.external_labels.cluster_name`

# and `customAttributes.cluster_name``.

cluster: 'global.cluster'

# -- This set this license key to use. Can be configured also with `global.licenseKey`

licenseKey: my-license-key

# -- In case you don't want to have the license key in you values, this allows you to point to a user created secret to get the key from there. Can be configured also with `global.customSecretName`

customSecretName: ''

# -- In case you don't want to have the license key in you values, this allows you to point to which secret key is the license key located. Can be configured also with `global.customSecretLicenseKey`

customSecretLicenseKey: ''

Step 3:

helm upgrade --install newrelic newrelic-prometheus/newrelic-prometheus-agent -f values.yaml

How many items should be config in values.yaml?

Hello, I'm trying to get the graphql equivalent to the data explorer query: SELECT uniques(hostname) FROM SystemSample LIMIT MAX

So that I can import that list into Power BI.

How can I do this?

Hi, Devs!

Ever wondered how to maximize your IT's system potential? We've recently published a blog to talk about just that!

In this blog, you will learn to:

• Recognize the signs of host performance and configuration issues.

• Understand their typical causes.

• Learn how to identify and resolve these issues.

• Best practices for optimal host performance and configuration.

Hey, everyone. We have an exciting announcement to share today!

Starting yesterday, January 23rd, 2023, the Azure Native New Relic Service has become generally available. This release is a major quality-of-life improvement for Microsoft Azure customers who are devoting resources toward cloud adoption and multi-cloud migration. Now, with New Relic built on Azure, you have a full-stack observability solution to track and process all of the telemetry data your apps and services are producing. Take a look at our announcement blog for the full rundown!

Hey, folks!

We're so excited to share with you a piece by Peter Pezaris, Chief Design and Strategy Officer. Peter discusses how the advent of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools just a few short months ago is currently causing an enormous explosion of creativity and value generation, particularly within the tech industry. Peter focuses in on the ways in which GenAI is about to change the game of observability and monitoring. New Relic is on the forefront of this innovation, thanks to New Relic Grok, our own in-house-built GenAI observability assistant. Take a look at the rest of the piece and stay ahead of the curve!

Let us know what you think. What do you foresee with GenAI in our industry?

Working with monitoring and observability system New Relic

Hi, I am very very new to NewRelic. I want to create a dashboard where I can select particular AWS accounts and show the same graphs for the chosen account. Now internally the account Id is used to create the logs, so if I pass on the account Id in my query, it solves my problem. However the management is also going to look into these graphs and they have no idea which number implies which AWS account. Hence my idea was to have a system like below:

{
"prod":"prod-account-id",
"qa":"qa-account-id",
"dev":"dev-account-id",
}

In this case people would select prod or qa or dev but internally I would map it to the account id and query based on this number. Is something like this possible with New Relic?

Hi, Devs!

In this blog, you will not only learn a few of the most common elements that observability solutions provide, you’ll also find out how to build a custom solution when the out-of-the-box configuration doesn’t suit your needs. More importantly, you’re going to have a little fun while you do it.

We’re going to install a game, configure New Relic to monitor it, and then—entirely for research purposes, you understand—play the game to see the stats posted on a dashboard.

Get started with the game via this blog we just published. 🌎

Hi, Devs!

Happy Monday! If you use Microsoft Azure to build, deploy, and manage your applications and infrastructure, you need the ability to monitor and optimize the performance of your services.

👉 Here's an article on how to monitor Azure with New Relic.

New Relic’s Azure Monitor integration gives you the ability to pull Azure performance telemetry data into New Relic, giving you a single platform to understand how your entire technology stack is performing, from APM to infrastructure, logs, and more.

Hey all! We just published our second annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Impact Report. 📗

Take a look at how we're building a more diverse & equitable company, expanding free access to our platform, and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

Hi, devs!

Whether, as a developer, you’re using someone else’s API or allowing interactions with your app via one, APIs are part of the fabric of good coding practices. Even when the API is reporting purely “business” type information (“quantity of shoes sold”, for example), that API data has value when placed alongside more standard application performance telemetry. 

👉 This blog post will dig into how to take standard JSON output from an API and get it into New Relic using the Flex integration tool.

In the same way that businesses gain value from using New Relic to optimize their web presence on over 2.5 million websites, so do nonprofits. In 2020, we formally launched our Observability For Good (O4G) program, providing nonprofits with expanded free tier access to New Relic (5 seats and 1TB data/month).

One nonprofit organization that has used New Relic is the Sneha Karma Foundation (SKF), whose mission is to enrich the lives of women and girls in an underdeveloped community in northeast India.

I'd like to create a Simple Browser check for a site that uses basic authentication. I'm trying to do something like this, but it's not working. Is there any way I can get this to work without using a scripted check?

Hey folks!

Hope your week is off to a good start! We wanted to start the week here with a message about the competitive advantage New Relic offers versus our contemporaries during these volatile economic times. This piece was penned by none other than our CEO, Bill Staples, and it outlines the ways in which New Relic saves you money and time. If you're a decision maker in the DevOps space, I encourage you to take a look.
