New Relic at KubeCon 2025
Visit New Relic's booth 1420 at KubeCon 2025 to see live demos of our Kubernetes monitoring solution. Our technology streamlines APM agent deployment without needing code changes, allowing fast onboarding and easy management across teams. You'll also benefit from our OpenTelemetry support, making cluster onboarding seamless while correlating app performance and Kubernetes data on a single UI.
We invite you to our speaker session at Observability Day, "There's a Lot of Bad Telemetry Out There." Dan Gomez Blanco from New Relic and Juraci Paixão Kröhling from OllyGarden will discuss how to spot and address common telemetry issues using practical examples. They'll explain how to clean up noisy data and enhance its value with OpenTelemetry Collector settings.
Also, don't miss our demo session "Turn The Lights On: How New Relic Illuminates Your OTel Data" at our booth 1420 on Wednesday, November 12 at 1:15pm. Reese Lee, Senior Developer Relations Engineer, and Brad Schmitt, Principal Solutions Architect will demonstrate New Relic's innovative solutions in action, providing insights into how these tools can enhance your observability and system performance.
Don't forget to pick up your K8s Pirate keychain (pictured below)!

Session Title: There's a Lot of Bad Telemetry Out There
Much telemetry is bad: noisy, costly, and hides real signals. Auto-instrumentation can create high-cardinality floods, while over-instrumentation results in excessively verbose traces with countless near-useless internal spans. These common issues obscure insights and strain collection pipelines, leading to frustration and wasted resources.
This session dissects these "bad telemetry" patterns using real-world examples (like verbose traces and auto-instrumentation noise at global scale). We'll demonstrate concrete fixes both at the source, and using OpenTelemetry Collector configurations—like filter, attributes, span, and transform processors—to tame this data at the pipeline level, improving quality and utility.
Attendees will learn to identify bad telemetry, apply OTel best practices to create, filter, and reshape data, and cultivate higher-quality, cost-effective, actionable insights.

The Kubernetes logo is inspired by the Greek myth of the “Kubernetes,” which means “helmsman” or “pilot.” In the myth, the Kubernetes were a group of 50 sea nymphs who were the daughters of Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea, and Doris, a sea nymph. The Kubernetes were known for their ability to predict the future and their role as protectors of sailors and ships.
