Docs October 12 - October 23, 2026

New docs

• Added Kotlin instrumentation not reporting to help you fix missing Kotlin instrumentation by upgrading to Java agent 8.20 or higher and setting the clear_return_stacks system property.
• Added Migration guide for Agent Control, covering the monitoring gap, configuration mapping, entity continuity, and rollback steps when you move from a standalone Infrastructure agent to Agent Control.
• Added Autopilot compute limits to show you how to set daily and monthly Advanced CCU budgets, isolate automated alert triage from interactive use, and track consumption with NRQL.
• Added AWS SES actions to the workflow automation actions catalog, covering email template management and sending emails through Amazon SES.
• Added Get started with collector observability, a setup guide covering billing notes and step-by-step configuration for enabling collector observability.
• Added OpenTelemetry Collector KPI reference to explain each collector observability KPI tile and its related telemetry charts.
• Added a new troubleshooting guide for .NET to check when No data appears: .NET Framework app not using TLS 1.2.

Major changes

• Updated Remove applications from New Relic with a new NerdGraph agentApplicationDelete mutation that lets you permanently force-delete an application even while it's still reporting data.
• Updated Kafka monitoring integration with cluster-wide metrics (KafkaClusterSample) and new broker, topic, and consumer offset extended metrics and config options.
• Updated the Kubernetes cross-cluster UI to include scorecard, table, and drill-down sections.
• Updated Install synthetics job manager with a rootless Podman setup table, a lingering-enablement step so service accounts' systemd services keep running without an active login session, and --shm-size=2g in the pod-creation command to prevent browser monitors from crashing due to shared memory limits.
• Updated New Relic API keys with a new "Audit and manage your API keys" section covering capabilities and permissions, simplified the key-replacement steps, and fixed an inverted description of the enabled field (enabled: false deactivates a key, and enabled: true reactivates it).
• Updated NerdGraph tutorial: Manage API keys with the new owningTeamIds, enabled, and keyUsage (last-used) fields for creating, updating, and querying API keys through NerdGraph.
• Updated Troubleshoot private locations with a new section explaining why browser monitors crash from Podman pod-level shared memory limits, with diagnostic commands and a fix.
• Updated OpenTelemetry Collector monitoring with new standalone vs. attached collector view modes.
• Updated PHP agent compatibility and requirements to remove EOL'd Joomla, Drupal 7/9, and Laravel 11 entries.
• Updated the minimum supported iOS version from 16 to 15 in Monitor your .NET MAUI application.
• Updated Compatibility and requirements for the Node.js agent with the latest supported third-party package versions.

Minor changes

• Updated PHP agent support for Guzzle to list supported versions 7-8 and removed EOL'd 5-6.
• Updated the iOS XCFramework folder name to NewRelic.xcframework in Monitor your Unity application.
• Updated the variable distributed_tracing.sampler.remote_parent_not_sampled.trace_id_ratio_based.ratio name in Python agent configuration.
• Updated the PostgreSQL install guide to explain that nri-postgresql needs USAGE granted on information_schema in hardened or managed PostgreSQL environments that revoke default PUBLIC privileges.
• Updated the partition-creation steps in Long-term log storage with live archives to update the "Send to Live Archives" dropdown option.
• Updated the Set up Azure monitoring integrations to explain that the Monitoring Reader role lets New Relic poll resources using Azure Monitor's metrics batch API instead of querying each resource individually.
• Updated the Alerts notification integrations to explain that New Relic only supports the out-of-the-box ServiceNow application, not customizations to it.
• Updated the Podman pod-creation commands in Install Synthetics for Dual Stack using Podman and the Synthetics private locations runtime transition guide.
