New Relic has adopted a language agnostic approach that facilitates data collection from all OpenTelemetry data sources. We are deprecating the support of the .NET Telemetry SDK and the .NET OpenTelemetry exporter.

The current recommended approaches for sending OpenTelemetry data to the New Relic platform are as follows:

• Configure your OpenTelemetry data source to send data to the OpenTelemetry Collector using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) and configure the collector to forward the data using the New Relic collector exporter.
• Configure your OpenTelemetry data source to send data to the native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) data ingestion endpoint. OTLP is an open source gRPC based protocol for sending telemetry data. The protocol is vendor agnostic and open source.

For more details please see:

• OpenTelemetry quick start
• Introduction to OpenTelemetry with New Relic
• Native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) support

New Relic .NET Telemetry SDK

The New Relic .NET Telemetry SDK allows tracking of information about the execution of an application and sends it to the New Relic back-end. New Relic tools allow the visualization of this information, making it insightful and actionable.

Limitations

The New Relic Telemetry APIs are rate limited. Please reference the documentation for New Relic Metric API and Trace API requirements and limits on the specifics of the rate limits.

Find and use your data

Tips on how to find and query your data in New Relic:
