The OpenTelemetry project has a broad scope including API and SDK specifications, instrumentation, the Collector, semantic conventions, the OTLP protocol, and more. New Relic aims to have first-class support for OpenTelemetry and has a wide variety of platform capabilities that make it easy to use OpenTelemetry tools.
The pages below focus on common integration patterns, providing a foundation for utilizing OpenTelemetry effectively with New Relic. While not exhaustive, it highlights how users typically leverage these tools and the New Relic platform capabilities built upon them.
APM monitoring
Monitor your applications and services by configuring the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) exporter to send data to New relic via the New Relic OTLP endpoint.
Infrastructure monitoring
Monitor your infrastructure hosts, containers, and more by configuring the the OpenTelemetry Collector to send data to New Relic.
General data processing
Monitor all other data by using the OpenTelemetry Collector to receive, process (enriching, transforming, sampling, filtering, etc), and export telemetry data to New Relic.
