{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[New Relic](https://newrelic.com/) is an observability platform for monitoring application performance, infrastructure, logs, traces, and business-impacting changes across your systems. It centralizes telemetry in NRDB and exposes that data through NerdGraph, New Relic's GraphQL API.

With New Relic, you can:

- **Query telemetry with NRQL**: Run NRQL against account data to inspect service health, usage, errors, latency, and custom events.
- **Find monitored entities**: Search services, applications, hosts, and other monitored resources by name, type, tags, alert state, or reporting status.
- **Fetch entity details**: Resolve an entity GUID into basic entity metadata for downstream workflow steps.
- **Record deployment changes**: Create deployment change tracking events with version, changelog, commit, build links, group IDs, and user context.

Sim's New Relic integration lets agents pull production observability signals into workflows and annotate releases or operational changes directly from automation. Use it to summarize live service health, route incident workflows from entity searches, or mark deployments so New Relic charts can correlate performance changes with release activity.
