New Relic's official Node.js APM agent that instruments applications for performance monitoring. It collects metrics, traces, and errors and reports them to a New Relic account.
Use cases
- monitor node.js application performance
- trace requests across services in node
- collect error and transaction metrics for node apps
- instrument express or next.js apps with apm
- send node.js telemetry to new relic
When to choose
- you already have a New Relic account and want Node.js APM
- you need production-grade, actively maintained instrumentation for Node.js services
- you want distributed tracing and transaction metrics with minimal code changes
When to avoid
- you want a fully self-hosted open-source observability stack without a New Relic account
- you need OpenTelemetry-native instrumentation instead of a vendor agent
- your runtime or framework is unsupported by the agent
