Sep 2025 monthly summary for newrelic/newrelic-quickstarts: No new features shipped this month. The focus was on data quality and reliability of network telemetry. Fixed Network Connections Table Data Integrity (Inbound/Outbound) by updating the data and schema, improving accuracy for dashboards and analytics. This work reduces data discrepancies, enhances trust in Quickstarts insights, and strengthens the foundation for future network-related features.

July 2025 monthly summary focused on streamlining eBPF observability and dashboard quality across entity definitions and quickstarts. Delivered four key items across two repositories: 1) newrelic/entity-definitions: EBPF Metrics Configuration Cleanup; 2) newrelic/newrelic-quickstarts: E BPF dashboard visual refresh; E BPF quickstart visual overhaul; Data query correctness fixes. Impact: eliminated deprecated metric configurations to reduce misconfiguration risk, improved visual clarity and onboarding, and ensured accurate data representation across eBPF dashboards. Resulting improvements support faster incident detection, better operator experience, and stronger maintainability of the observability stack. Technologies/skills demonstrated: eBPF metrics management, YAML/config cleanup, dashboard design and asset updates (PNG icons, titles/docs), data query corrections, and Git-based change tracking.

June 2025 monthly summary focusing on eBPF-related developments across two repositories, highlighting feature deliveries, reliability fixes, and demonstrable business impact.

May 2025 performance summary for newrelic/entity-definitions. Delivered two core features to improve observability of external services and refined telemetry to enhance data quality and service identification. Implemented eBPF External Service Relationship Mapping and Observability Enhancements, adding relationship definitions and client/server configurations to map connections between external services and supporting protocol-agnostic relationship creation. Implemented Telemetry Configuration Refinement for External Services, refactoring telemetry configuration to remove local_addr/local_port and ensure trace_role is present for client/server roles. Key changes also included targeted bug fixes to harden the implementation and ensure reliability: - Allow all protocols in eBPF relationship creation (commit bfbe5e4e5a31bdd7aa40d6a8f9a2966c9fd10850; #2029). - Remove local port from client role to improve telemetry accuracy (commit 435464c08613f00e11ea0690e8737e770fbc0d68; #2028). Overall impact: Improved end-to-end observability and data quality for external services, enabling faster troubleshooting, better service mapping, and more reliable telemetry across the platform. Technologies/skills demonstrated: eBPF-based observability, protocol-agnostic relationship modeling, telemetry configuration engineering, tracing and service identification, commit-level traceability and incremental delivery.
