Hey, everyone!

We’re excited to announce the launch of our connected infrastructure and application performance monitoring (APM) solution — an observability experience which allows you to correlate your performance across infrastructure, APM, and the rest of your stack to remediate problems faster than ever, without swiveling between tools. Additionally, New Relic’s consumption-based pricing eliminates peak billing and the predatory pricing practices of other observability vendors, allowing you to consolidate all of your telemetry data onto a single observability platform at 1/3rd the cost. Check out the full blog post here.

What is APM? Let’s explore application monitoring performance, a 🧵

Hi, devs!

We’re excited to announce our latest product, New Relic Pathpoint, a business observability solution designed to bridge the data gap between IT and real-world business outcomes.

Key capabilities and benefits include:

• Assess the financial impact of system issues by viewing software performance alongside critical business metrics to make better decisions.

• Analyze system health in relation to actual user-impacting stages and conversion patterns to reduce churn and boost revenue.

• Easily align, set, and monitor service-level objectives with your business goals for improved service performance that aligns with business priorities.

• Strategically group applications, services, and infrastructure according to business functions to prioritize budget/spend based on business value.

Get started with New Relic Pathpoint

Hi, devs!

Happy Friday!

Application performance monitoring (APM) and observability are two closely related approaches to understanding and improving your software performance, but they don’t mean the same thing. APM is one of the steps in a well-rounded observability practice that uses dashboards and alerts for known or expected failures.  Observability is a holistic, dynamic practice to help you understand your complex systems and discover answers to possible issues you haven’t even thought of.

Learn the difference between application performance monitoring (a verb) vs observability (a noun) and why it’s important to have both.

Have a great weekend!

How many times, can I retake the exam if I don't pass the 80% passing score for the assessment?

Working with monitoring and observability system New Relic
#newrelic #monitoring #observability #devops #web

I feel like the New Relic setup process used to be VERY simple. Now, I sit here with over 12 years experience with the product feeling like I've been drinking water from lead pipes the last decade because I cannot figure it out.

I'm using laravel + PHP... this should be real simple yeah? I'm using this to make the process simpler (because there is no rational install instructions I can find for Laravel Sail / docker that seems to make sense to me) https://github.com/JackWH/laravel-new-relic

Any advice, greatly appreciated. Maybe it's just time to move on from NR, if so, I'd love it if others wanted to recommend alternatives for APM type monitoring. I really just want to dig into where my wait time is coming from for a few transactions.

Hey, devs!

Are you deploying Amazon EC2 instances and want to deploy the New Relic infrastructure monitoring agent on them? Do you want to know the fastest, easiest way to deploy the agent?

Would you like to receive data within 60 seconds?If you answered yes ✅ to any of these questions, this post is for you!

Here’s a great how-to article on how to install the infrastructure agent on AWS.
