Recently Shipped12 releases · updated Oct 27, 2026

Recently shipped four GAs: scheduled NRQL reporting, reusable query macros, Intelligent Workloads, and the Performance Risks Inbox.

NRQL became a scheduled, reusable reporting tool.

  • Scheduled Search and Reporting runs any NRQL query hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom cadence and delivers results by email; notification conditions fire only when result counts cross a threshold.
  • NRQL Macros save an expression as a named shortcut ($podnameAlias = (podName OR pod_name OR pod.name)), editable in one place and applied everywhere it's referenced — useful for updating several dashboard widgets at once.

Triage Inbox put performance anti-patterns beside errors. Performance Risks Inbox reached GA, flagging N+1 queries and inefficient database calls, with a new account-level overview showing which entities carry risk. The top-level nav entry is now Triage Inbox (Errors Inbox); nothing else moved.

Pathpoint 2.0 previewed business-journey mapping. The preview ties technical health to stages like checkout and onboarding, showing which stage is degraded, which microservice is failing, and which team owns it. Trace maps gained clustering that collapses low-importance services so latency and error sources stay visible.

Pipeline and dashboard configuration loosened up. Pipeline Control accepts Sample Rate, Filter, and Transform processors anywhere in a pipeline, in any order, with OTTL rules previewed against a sample payload before saving. Dashboards gained {{selfEntity}}, resolving to the dashboard's own GUID so copied widgets keep pointing at the right place. Notebooks are now Terraform-manageable.

Heads-up: session replay (Browser and Mobile) now reports under its own billing category — update NRQL usage queries to BrowserSessionReplay and MobileSessionReplay.

Intelligent Workloads GA; bulk create and exclude filters added

This release3 featuresNew capabilities2 enhancementsImprovements to existing featuresAI-tallied from the release notes

Intelligent Workloads is now generally available, with bulk creation that surfaces candidate transactions by processing time, latency, or error rates, and exclude filters that prune unowned microservices, third-party APIs, or irrelevant pipeline branches from the dependency graph. Standard Workloads gains a context-rich summary page and support for custom alert policies and conditions for health configuration.

Pipeline processors now go anywhere in the chain

This release3 featuresNew capabilities1 enhancementImprovements to existing featuresAI-tallied from the release notes

Sample Rate, Filter, and Transform processors can now be added, stacked, reordered, or deleted at any point in a Pipeline Control pipeline, replacing the previous fixed one-of-each layout. Filter and Transform rules are backed by OTTL statements with recipes and payload preview, and changes are staged as drafts before deployment.

Pathpoint 2.0 preview adds Terraform; health status configurable

This release4 featuresNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

The updated version of New Relic Pathpoint is available in Public Preview, adding a NerdGraph API and Terraform provider so Pathpoint flows can be created, versioned, and deployed through CI/CD pipelines, with existing generally available Pathpoint users able to export their configuration as Terraform. KPIs now surface flow-level and stage-level business metrics like orders placed, cart abandonment, and conversion rate, and stages can be configured to turn red on a business condition such as cart abandonment crossing 50%.

{{selfEntity}} replaces hardcoded dashboard GUIDs

This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Dashboards now support a {{selfEntity}} template variable that resolves to the dashboard's own entity GUID, usable in linkedEntityGuids, widget titles, NRQL queries, markdown widgets, and any other rawConfiguration field. Terraform or JSON-defined dashboards must replace hardcoded GUIDs with {{selfEntity}}, while existing dashboards can swap facet-linking GUIDs by toggling the setting off and on.

Trace maps cluster low-importance services automatically

This release1 featureNew capabilities2 enhancementsImprovements to existing featuresAI-tallied from the release notes

Trace maps now use clustering logic to limit how many nodes display at once: high-importance services stay visible, low-importance ones collapse into a cluster node showing the count of hidden services, and services are ranked by latency and error rate impact. The new map is the default and the previous experience remains available to switch back to.

Session replay gets its own billing category

This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Session replay data for Browser and Mobile is now reported under its own billing category in Data ingestion and usage, instead of browser events and mobile events. NRQL queries that facet or filter on usage.metric from NrIngestedBytes must be updated to include the new BrowserSessionReplay and MobileSessionReplay categories.

{{selfEntity}} resolves dashboards to own GUID

This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

A {{selfEntity}} template variable now resolves to the dashboard's own entity GUID anywhere in its raw configuration, so duplicated dashboards no longer point facet links and other self-references back at the original. Existing dashboards need facet linking disabled and re-enabled to swap in the variable, while new dashboards get it by default.
