Navigate to your [Applications, Infrastructure, or Repositories Catalog](https://one.newrelic.com/catalogs/).\n2. Open the **Group By** and **Column** picker dropdowns in the top right corner of the Catalogs table to see and search every tag available in your account, alongside the curated options you already know.\n3.

Each cell can be an independent NRQL query, a visualization, or a block of markdown—so your analysis tells a complete story.\n\n**Save, share, and collaborate** Save notebooks as persistent documents and share them directly with teammates. Your investigative work no longer lives only in your browser history.\n\n**Natural language to query translator** Accelerate exploration by describing what you want to see in plain English. Notebooks translates your intent into precise NRQL syntax, lowering the barrier for teams less familiar with our query language.\n\n**Reusable variables** Define dynamic variables once and reference them across every query in the notebook. Change a value in one place and every dependent query updates automatically.\n\n**Inline query comparison** Compare datasets side-by-side without juggling browser tabs. Spot anomalies and correlate signals from different parts of your stack in a single view.\n\n**Dynamic runbooks** Turn incident analyses into reusable, interactive assets.

When a service degrades, the clock starts, and every minute of manual investigation is a minute of potential customer impact. Site reliability engineers (SREs) know the drill: pivot across dashboards, scan logs, check recent deployments, hunt down the right runbook, and page relevant people to help troubleshoot. Autopilot collapses that scramble into a single, guided investigation.\n\nNew Relic Autopilot is an AI-powered operational assistant that helps engineering and operations teams investigate incidents, identify probable root causes, recommend next actions, and help accelerate resolution. Autopilot explains its reasoning during these steps to help achieve the desired result of lowering mean time to resolution and reducing operational toil for the engineers carrying the pager.\n\nPoint Autopilot at an alert and it can help:\n\n- Triage and validate alerts against historical baselines and current health, so you can investigate and determine whether an event is real or noise.\n- Summarize the health of a service or a group of related entities, with links to the underlying telemetry so you can verify findings.\n- Pinpoint potential regressions, new error patterns, and latency introduced by recent deployments.\n- Traverse distributed traces, logs, and infrastructure metrics to help isolate the likely cause and blast radius.\n- Recommend remediation, such as a deployment rollback, for you to review, evaluate, and approve.\n\n## Built for the way SREs actually work\n\nAutopilot gets sharper the more it knows about your environment. Connect [New Relic AI Knowledge](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agentic-ai/knowledge-integration/overview/) so that the agent can reference your runbooks, retrospectives, and Confluence docs in investigations, so that agent recommendations can better reflect how your team actually operates or potentially surface the fix that worked in a similar scenario last time. Turn on [Memories](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agentic-ai/autopilot/memories/) so that Autopilot stores and can reference your saved preferences, past resolutions, and environment quirks across sessions, so you can build on your history and expertise.\n\n## Investigate without leaving the conversation\n\nWith the Slack integration, mention the New Relic app in any channel to triage an alert, check an entity, or run a multi-turn investigation right in the thread, using your New Relic permissions. This helps the relevant team stay in the loop, so that issues can be resolved where the work is already happening.\n\n[Learn more](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agentic-ai/autopilot/overview/) about Autopilot, or [get started](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agentic-ai/autopilot/setup/) today.","publishedAt":"2026-07-21T00:00:00.000Z","fetchedAt":"2026-09-15T11:51:09.031Z","url":"https://docs.newrelic.com/whats-new/2026/07/whats-new-07-21-autopilot","media":[],"coverageCount":0},{"id":"rel_AFdQt5W2wiz5Y4z-nGn3k","version":null,"type":"feature","title":"Contextual Dashboards now in Catalogs","summary":"We've introduced a new feature that integrates your custom dashboards as contextual information directly within Catalogs.\n\nThis capability bridges the...","titleGenerated":null,"titleShort":null,"breaking":"unknown","importance":null,"content":"We've introduced a new feature that integrates your custom dashboards as contextual information directly within Catalogs.\n\nThis capability bridges the \"what\" (your services and infrastructure) with the \"how\" (your custom visualizations).

Engineering teams know their services are running, but finance teams can't attribute spend to the right teams, applications, or resources — and optimization opportunities stay buried in spreadsheets. Cloud Cost Intelligence closes that gap by embedding full cloud cost visibility directly into New Relic, alongside the performance data you already rely on every day.\n\nCCI supports all three major cloud providers — **AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud** — and delivers a unified view of your cloud expenditure without requiring you to leave the New Relic platform.\n\n## What's included at GA\n\n### Intelligent Summary Dashboard\n\nThe centerpiece of CCI is the **Intelligent Summary Dashboard** — an at-a-glance view of all cloud spending across services, teams, and regions. The interactive Sankey chart makes it easy to trace cost flows from account to service to resource. Month-over-month trend analysis and top 5 cost variance drivers let you identify anomalies before they become budget surprises.\n\n### Cost Overview and Drill-Down Analysis\n\nGo beyond the summary with the **Cost Overview** page. Slice your spend by cloud provider, account, region, charge type, or custom resource tags. Switch between bar charts, line charts, tree charts, and heat maps to find the visualization that surfaces the signal fastest. Drill from the service level all the way down to individual resources in just a few clicks.\n\n### Kubernetes Cost Allocation\n\nFor teams running containerized workloads, **Kubernetes Cost Allocation** breaks down cluster spend by application name, providing CPU and memory usage alongside unused and unallocated cost visibility. By leveraging your existing New Relic Kubernetes telemetry, this feature requires no additional instrumentation.\n\n### Budget Management\n\nSet spending limits for periods of 1 to 12 months and track actual spend against those limits in real time. Budget status indicators — **Under Budget**, **At Risk**, and **Breached** — surface at configurable thresholds (60%, 70%, 80%, and 100%), and alerts can be triggered automatically to keep the right stakeholders informed before limits are exceeded.\n\n### Cost Optimization Recommendations\n\nCCI surfaces cost optimization opportunities from two complementary sources:\n\n- **AWS Trusted Advisor integration** for AWS-native recommendations including right-sizing, idle resources, and Reserved Instance coverage.\n- **CCI Native Optimization Engine** for proprietary cross-cloud analysis, including Savings Plans commitment analysis with monthly and annual projected savings.\n\nEvery recommendation can be acknowledged, dismissed, or tracked as pending — giving your FinOps team a clear action queue to work from.\n\n### AI Cost management\n\nThe **AI Costs** page provides cost visibility for AI services across your cloud providers. It surfaces token-level costs broken down by service, model, and token type, giving you a unified view of AI spending across multi-cloud environments and multiple LLM models.\n\n### Alerts support\n\nBuild cost as an operational metric, with native integrations with Alerts, Notifications and Workflows.\n\n## The exciting road ahead\n\nCloud Cost Intelligence at GA is just the beginning. We're continuing to expand multi-cloud recommendation coverage, deepen Kubernetes cost attribution, and build tighter integrations between cost data and the rest of the New Relic observability platform — so you can answer \"why did costs spike?\" with the same confidence as \"why did latency spike?\"\n\nWe invite you to explore [Cloud Cost Intelligence](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/cci/overview/) and start connecting your cloud spend to the engineering context that explains it.

Our enhanced widget functionality, featuring Widget Links and Widget Descriptions, is designed to solve exactly that. These tools allow you to seamlessly embed extra information and connectivity, helping you communicate data insights more effectively and ensuring your team can quickly explore related resources.\n\n- **Widget Descriptions:** Deliver contextual information and crucial data nuances as simple tooltips that appear only when a user hovers over the widget. This lets you add context (like thresholds, importance, or caveats) without taking up permanent space on your valuable dashboard real estate.\n- **Widget Links:** Turn widget titles into clickable links that guide users directly to related detailed analysis dashboards, external documentation, runbooks, or any other important resource. This creates an efficient, navigable path for stakeholders to dive deeper into the data they need.\n\nBy using both features, you create dashboards that aren't only informative and visually clean but also highly actionable and easy to navigate.\n\n![](https://docs.newrelic.com/images/widget_link_desc.webp \"Billboard with a description and url link in title\")\n\nFor detailed instructions, please visit this section of the [documentation](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/use-charts/use-your-charts/#widget-link-description)\n\n## Variables visibility\n\nThe Variables Visibility feature allows you to control which template variables appear in your dashboard's variables bar. This helps you create cleaner, more focused dashboards by hiding variables that viewers don't need to edit, while keeping them accessible in Edit mode for dashboard creators and editors.\n\n![](https://docs.newrelic.com/images/hidden_var.webp \"Hidden variable view when in Edit mode\")\n\nWhat Are Hidden Variables?\n\nHidden variables are template variables that:\n\n- Work normally behind the scenes to power your dashboard's logic\n- Don't appear in the variables bar when viewing the dashboard\n- Remain visible in Edit mode, marked with a special icon so editors can identify and manage them\n\nHidden variables allow the dashboard editor to deliver powerful filtering for the dashboard consumer without burdening them with the selection of variables they don't understand because they're:\n\n- Variables that are used only for calculations or logic\n- Nested variables that support other variables but don't need user input\n- Variables with default values that rarely need changing\n\nFor detailed instructions, please visit this section of the [documentation](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/dashboards/dashboard-template-variables/#variable-visibility)\n\n## Template Variables Now Available in Markdown Widgets and titles\n\nYour dashboards more dynamic and contextual than ever: you can now use dashboard template variables directly within your widget titles and Markdown widgets.\n\nThis expansion ensures that your dashboards are fully self-documenting, with text and titles that automatically update as users interact with template variable filters.\n\n## Key Capabilities\n\n### Dynamic Widget Titles\n\nWidget titles will now dynamically reflect the user's variable selection. For example, a title containing `{{products}}` will update to \"Page views per nerdlet: APM\" when the user selects \"APM.\" This feature supports single and multi-select variable choices, providing instant context on the specific data being viewed.\n\nFor full details and examples, visit the official [documentation](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/dashboards/dashboard-template-variables/#variables-widget-titles)\n\n### Contextual Markdown Widgets\n\nInsert template variables like `{{appName}}` or `{{environment}}` into your Markdown text. The text will dynamically update, allowing you to create contextual notes, documentation, or even dynamic code for visualizations like Mermaid diagrams. This is perfect for creating help text that guides users based on their current variable selection. These enhancements work together to provide a clear, professional, and intuitive experience for anyone using your dashboards.\n\nFor full details and examples, visit the official [documentation](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/dashboards/dashboard-template-variables/#variables-markdown-widgets)","publishedAt":"2026-03-26T00:00:00.000Z","fetchedAt":"2026-09-15T11:51:09.099Z","url":"https://docs.newrelic.com/whats-new/2026/03/whats-new-3-28-in-dashboards","media":[{"type":"image","url":"https://docs.newrelic.com/images/widget_link_desc.webp","r2Key":"releases/b477f63bdc870976290223b905e10889484ee4bb3aa9dc726965781f7aaa98b2.webp","r2Url":"https://media.releases.sh/releases/b477f63bdc870976290223b905e10889484ee4bb3aa9dc726965781f7aaa98b2.webp"},{"type":"image","url":"https://docs.newrelic.com/images/hidden_var.webp","r2Key":"releases/5da7c490238d7e543e35a408528d1f85619cc017b3267e58d38ccb3273390fd3.webp","r2Url":"https://media.releases.sh/releases/5da7c490238d7e543e35a408528d1f85619cc017b3267e58d38ccb3273390fd3.webp"}],"coverageCount":0},{"id":"rel_hJSyZ-xVxVfZccKrMyv71","version":null,"type":"feature","title":"PHP agent RPM key rotation for enhanced security","summary":"Security is at the heart of everything we do at New Relic.

Traditional tools tell you a request is slow, but they often can't tell you if the culprit is a DNS failure, a TCP handshake delay, or a hidden retransmission. In addition, we have ensured eBPF can intelligently coexist with APM agent - check out our [detailed blog post](https://newrelic.com/blog/infrastructure-monitoring/ebpf-network-metrics-for-kernel-network-view-apm-infra) for a deep dive into how this changes the game for NetOps and DevOps teams alike - all the telemetry is right in the context of service entities of interest in the industry-leading APM UI.\n\n## Enhancements to New Relic eBPF APM\n\nSince the General Availability of New Relic eBPF-powered APM in December 2025, we have been hard at work refining the engine. We’ve introduced several key enhancements to broaden your visibility across languages and infrastructure:\n\n- **Expanded Linux Distro Support:** You can now deploy with confidence across more environments, including BottleRocket and Amazon Linux.\n    \n- **Broader Protocol Support:** In addition to our existing support for MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Postgres, we’ve expanded our reach to include Apache Thrift, MSSQL, and DynamoDB.\n    \n- **JVM Reporting via eBPF:** You can now capture critical JVM metrics (such as heap usage and garbage collection statistics), directly through the eBPF agent, providing deep Java insights without requiring an APM agent.\n    \n\n## The Exciting Road Ahead\n\nWe are just scratching the surface of what eBPF can do for the future of intelligent observability. We can’t wait to share even more capabilities with you in the near future.\n\nIn the meantime, we invite you to explore [New Relic eBPF Network Metrics](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/ebpf/network-metrics/) and let us know your thoughts.
