New Relic, Inc. is an observability specialist whose single-agent entry point, the New Relic Infrastructure Agent, quietly inventories every layer of a modern stack. Once deployed on Windows, Linux, or container hosts, the lightweight daemon discovers running services, packages, configuration files, and system metrics—CPU, memory, disk, network, processes—then streams the normalized data to the cloud-based New Relic platform. There, site-reliability engineers correlate host health with application traces, logs, and user experience data to spot bottlenecks before users notice, forecast capacity, and trigger auto-remediation workflows. Typical use cases range from DevOps teams tracking micro-service sprawl in Kubernetes clusters to IT operators auditing on-premise Windows fleets for compliance drift and license consumption. Because the agent supports Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and ordinary package managers, it slips into existing automation pipelines without extra configuration, while built-in flexibility lets administrators tag resources by environment, owner, or cost center for granular reporting. New Relic Infrastructure Agent is available for free on get.nero.com; downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always pull the latest upstream release, and can be installed in unattended batches alongside other applications.
Collect inventory data and metrics of your hosts and sends it to the New Relic platform.
