NO-CODE INSTRUMENTATION

Use eBPF for automatic instrumentation, no code required.

  • Deploy one eBPF agent with a single Helm command for real-time monitoring across Kubernetes workloads.  

  • Automatically detect all first- and third-party services in your system—no manual instrumentation needed.  

  • Get real-time insights into your entire architecture across all runtimes, frameworks, and languages. 

 
 
TROUBLESHOOT FASTER

Debug faster with AI-powered insights.

  • Monitor golden metrics, transaction details, and database performance in the same place.
  • Correlate your application and Kubernetes performance automatically with service maps.
  • Detect critical performance bottlenecks automatically with intelligent span sampling.
  • Support key protocols, including Cassandra, gRPC, HTTP, HTTP/2, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
SWITCH TO AGENTS

Transition easily to New Relic agents for deeper insights.

  • Switch from eAPM to APM agents with a few clicks for detailed insights at the function level or through distributed tracing. 
  • Use the Kubernetes APM auto-attach to instrument selected application agents. 
  • Eliminate double-billing errors. Your eAPM stops reporting automatically when you switch to agents. 
  • Maintain uninterrupted performance with automatically updated dashboards, alerts, and monitoring.
 

Capability FAQs

eAPM is our eBPF-powered APM solution designed for seamless deployment. With just a single helm command, users can deploy an eBPF agent that automatically discovers and instruments all applications running within a Kubernetes cluster—completely independent of the programming language.

eBPF is a technology embedded within the Linux kernel that allows developers to execute custom, sandboxed programs within the kernel space. It is a versatile tool that extends the capabilities safely of the Linux kernel without requiring changes to the kernel source code. eAPM is the native integration of eBPF agent into NR1 platform.

eAPM is a zero-instrumentation solution that automatically discovers all workloads within a Kubernetes (K8s) cluster. It’s an ideal tool for platform teams to monitor deployed applications and services without relying on individual development teams. Perfect for third-party plug-ins—where no internal development team is available—it's completely language-agnostic and eliminates concerns about agent lifecycle management.

It depends on your needs. Opt for a full APM agent if you require distributed tracing, detailed performance insights at the function or method level, or if you need to create custom instrumentation to measure specific aspects of your code.
