  1. One hour of downtime costs more than a professional monitoring setup. Lost signups, churned trials, support overhead, team scrambling through logs while the outage compounds.

  3. Every team has one. A #monitoring or #alerts channel that fires 40 times a day over minor CPU blips. Everyone muted it six months ago. When a real outage hits, nobody sees it.

    Alerts should only fire when something is actually wrong. I wrote a checklist mapping out 5 alerts tuned to real traffic patterns, not generic defaults. Free at danielpetrica.com/newrelic/

  5. Installing a New Relic agent takes 5 minutes. Configuring, calibrating, and testing the 5 alerts your SaaS actually needs takes 3 to 5 hours of focused work.

    Most teams never get past the install step. They have data flowing but no real alerting. If your team is too busy shipping features, I handle the full setup in one week: danielpetrica.com/newrelic/

  7. An expired certificate is never a complex failure. It's just a calendar problem nobody automated. Code is fine, servers are healthy, but every visitor gets a security warning.

    Run a daily Synthetics Certificate Check in New Relic. Alert 14 days out if you use auto-renewals, 30 days out for manual setups. Takes 5 minutes, eliminates the dumbest kind of outage.

  9. Alerting on "error rate > 5%" sounds sensible. But 2% errors at 3 AM is noise. 2% at peak traffic is a system failure. Use anomaly detection. Let New Relic baseline your data for 48 hours. Moderate sensitivity avoids phantom alerts. Guide: danielpetrica.com/newrelic/ #NewRelic #DevOps #monitoring

  11. DB pool exhaustion: connections climb for hours, everything looks fine, then max_connections hits and your app collapses. Check yours: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections'. Default 151?

  13. Disk space is boring until your production disk hits 100%. Then everything breaks at once. Transactions freeze, log writes fail, and you can't even SSH in because /tmp is full.

    Set up a two-stage alert on StorageSample in New Relic. Warning at 80% to a Slack channel so someone runs docker system prune. Critical at 90% straight to the pager, because you have hours left at most.

  15. Your uptime monitor says everything is fine. But your customers see a blank white screen. CDN edge nodes return valid responses with empty bodies, and ping checks never catch it. Use New Relic Synthetics to assert specific DOM text actually rendered. If missing, the check fails. Free guide: danielpetrica.com/newrelic/ #NewRelic #DevOps #monitoring

  17. Just published: #NewRelic will update its #observability tools with new #agenticAI features but will stick to its domain of expertise and a partnership strategy for broader forms of #ITautomation -- in contrast to some competitors with roots in #APM that have looked to expand in adjacent markets. #o11y #o11yNews techtarget.com/searchitoperati

  18. 👍 Powerful new AWS AI service: #AWS DevOps Agent is your always-on, autonomous on-call engineer. When issues arise, it automatically correlates data across your operational toolchain, from metrics and logs to recent code deployments in #GitHub or #GitLab. It identifies probable root causes and recommends targeted mitigations, helping reduce mean time to resolution. The agent also manages incident coordination, using #Slack channels for stakeholder updates and maintaining detailed investigation timelines.
    To get started, you connect AWS DevOps Agent to your existing tools through the AWS Management Console. The agent works with popular services such as Amazon CloudWatch, #Datadog, #Dynatrace, #NewRelic, and #Splunk for observability data, while integrating with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD to track deployments and their impact on your cloud resources. Through the bring your own (BYO) Model Context Protocol (MCP) server capability, you can also integrate additional tools such as your organization’s custom tools, specialized platforms or open source observability solutions, such as #Grafana and #Prometheus into your investigations.

    The agent acts as a virtual team member and can be configured to automatically respond to incidents from your ticketing systems. It includes built-in support for ServiceNow, and through configurable webhooks, can respond to events from other incident management tools like PagerDuty. As investigations progress, the agent updates tickets and relevant Slack channels with its findings. All of this is powered by an intelligent application topology the agent builds—a comprehensive map of your system components and their interactions, including deployment history that helps identify potential deployment-related causes during investigations.

  20. To add to the offense, they sent me a marketing outreach after I've deleted my account, and the unsubscribe link responded with a timeout.

    I am less than thrilled that you still have my contact and don't let me opt out!

  21. Even though I have some past trauma from using #NewRelic, I gave them a chance.

    Setting up monitoring of a VPS worked like a charm, took 2 minutes including creating an account, now I have memory, CPU, disk, etc. metrics collected.

    Then I tried adding their Typesense integration, which is broken.

    Tried contacting support, but apparently you need to pay for that.

    Tried asking in their forums, where "New Topic" takes to 404 page :D

    Fuck you New Relic, I still hate you!

  22. A new chapter of my life has begun.

    Hi everyone, since September I’ve decided to dedicate myself exclusively to freelance work. I know it will be a challenge, but I feel it’s the natural evolution of my career.

    For the first time, I’m taking on clients for web development (Laravel, PHP, TypeScript, and Vue) as well as DevOps consulting (Docker, CI/CD, and Traefik).

    I’ll also continue to offer freelance consulting on New Relic monitoring, something I’ve already done in the past.

    If you have interesting projects or need targeted consulting, you can reach out to me here or through my website danielpetrica.com

    Thank you all for your attention,
    Have a great weekend

  23. The most time-consuming part of #DevOps and #SRE roles is root cause analysis. But what if you could understand what went wrong and how to fix it in seconds with #AI? t.ly/aQ4-5

  25. Not all observability AI is created equal. But how do different approaches stack up? #Coroot CEO Nikolay Sivko compares alert-based, event-based, tracing-based, and full-data AI for root cause analysis: t.ly/P7bZP

  26. Is there an on-premise, open source option for a monitoring/telemetry platform comparable* to say New Relic or Dynatrace with an approachable query language?

    Is Prometheus+Grafana pretty much it?

    Simpler the better, approachable for a casual user (i.e. curious non-technical tenants) would be great.

    * Caveats for "comparable" apply!
