We now support cumulative metrics from OpenTelemetry and Prometheus

Get more insights into your Prometheus and OpenTelemetry data faster with cumulative metrics. Query and analyze your cumulative and delta values within a single platform without the need for any client-side configuration.

Cumulative counters are now stored as a New Relic cumulativeCount metric data type. For examples of querying OpenTelemetry cumulative metrics, see our OpenTelemetry best practices.

With this update, you can:

• Get more insight into your data by easily and efficiently querying both the cumulative and delta values.
• Eliminate the need for client-side configuration to convert cumulative values to delta values before sending data to New Relic, saving valuable time and effort.

Next steps

• Read our cumulative metrics docs.
• If you currently are using monotonic cumulative sum metrics in your queries or alerts, see the Transition guide.
• Get started with OpenTelemetry or Prometheus with New Relic.
