    Configure Dapr tracing

    Dapr natively captures metrics and traces that can be send directly to New Relic. The easiest way to export these is by configuring Dapr to send the traces to New Relic’s Trace API using the Zipkin trace format.

    In order for the integration to send data to New Relic , you need a New Relic Insights Insert API key.

    In order for the integrations to send data to New Relic Telemetry Data Platform, you either need a or New Relic Insights Insert API key.

    OpenTelemetry instrumentation

    Leverage the different language specific OpenTelemetry implementations, for example New Relic Telemetry SDK and OpenTelemetry support for .NET. In this case, use the . 查看示例。

    New Relic Language agent

    Similarly to the OpenTelemetry instrumentation, you can also leverage a New Relic language agent. 一个例子是 .NET Core 的 New Relic 代理工具 是Docker文件的一部分。 查看示例。

    (optional) Enable New Relic Kubernetes integration

    The easiest way to install the New Relic Kubernetes integration is to use the automated installer to generate a manifest. It bundles not just the integration DaemonSets, but also other New Relic Kubernetes configurations, like , Prometheus OpenMetrics, and .

    The New Relic Kubernetes Cluster Explorer provides a unique visualization of the entire data and deployments of the data collected by the Kubernetes integration.

    It is a good starting point to observe all your data and dig deeper into any performance issues or incidents happening inside of the application or microservices.

    Automated correlation is part of the visualization capabilities of New Relic.

    New Relic Grafana integration

    New Relic teamed up with Grafana Labs so you can use the as a data source for Prometheus metrics and see them in your existing dashboards, seamlessly tapping into the reliability, scale, and security provided by New Relic.

    Grafana dashboard templates to monitor Dapr system services and sidecars can easily be used without any changes. New Relic provides a into Grafana. A datasource can easily be set-up:

    And the exact same dashboard templates from Dapr can be imported to visualize Dapr system services and sidecars.
