New Relic Unveils No-Code AI Platform for Data Monitoring

New Relic unveiled the New Relic Agentic Platform, a no-code agentic platform that lets enterprises deploy prebuilt AI observability agents and manage existing bots. The platform supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI applications to external data sources and integrates with New Relic’s existing observability tools. Separately, New Relic added OpenTelemetry (OTel) capabilities to its application performance monitoring (APM) agents so customers can manage OTel data streams alongside other telemetry in a single place. New Relic positions the releases as focused on observability outcomes rather than a general-purpose agent manager; executives including Brian Emerson (chief product officer) and Nic Benders (chief technology strategist) are quoted on the product aims and the operational burdens of running OTel collectors.

New Relic Simplifies OpenTelemetry Adoption for Enterprises

New Relic announced new capabilities to ease enterprise adoption of OpenTelemetry (OTel), including APM hybrid agents, Collector Observability, and an OTel-based infrastructure monitoring experience called NRDOT. The APM hybrid agents embed OTel API compatibility and instrumentation into existing New Relic language agents to enable mixed-mode interoperability and backward compatibility with existing dashboards and alerts, allowing gradual migration without rip-and-replace. Collector Observability provides real-time visibility into the health and performance of OTel Collectors to help diagnose resource, configuration, and connectivity issues before they cause data loss. Infra NRDOT maps OTel-native host and application telemetry into New Relic experiences and includes an Adaptive Telemetry Processor to filter noise and reduce ingestion costs. New Relic says these features reduce integration work and operational overhead for enterprises adopting OTel.
