newrelic — Claude Code plugin: what it does, how to install
Connects New Relic telemetry directly to Claude Code. It helps developers inspect APM metrics, triage Kubernetes issues, and draft NRQL queries from the terminal.
/plugin install newrelic@claude-plugins-official
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-officialWhat newrelic does
This plugin brings New Relic observability data into your Claude Code terminal sessions. It lets the assistant inspect application bottlenecks, evaluate cloud spending, and inspect workloads running on Kubernetes clusters.
You can compose NRQL queries to inspect metric streams and troubleshoot active alerting events without leaving the console. Because the tool relies entirely on telemetry data, your environment needs an active New Relic setup with ingested metrics to return real insights.
What it helps with
- investigate application latency issues using APM telemetry
- analyze cloud infrastructure spending trends
- diagnose failures across Kubernetes workloads
- generate custom NRQL queries against collected telemetry
- triage incoming monitoring alerts directly in the terminal
Example prompts for the agent
- Check recent New Relic alerts and show me which service triggered them
- Write an NRQL query to measure 95th percentile response times over the past day
- Inspect Kubernetes telemetry data to find out why pods are failing health checks
