The "github.com/newrelic/opentelemetry-exporter-go/newrelic" package
provides an exporter for sending OpenTelemetry data to New Relic. Currently,
traces and the latest metric instruments (as of v0.13 of Open Telemetry) are
supported.
Example use:
import "github.com/newrelic/opentelemetry-exporter-go/newrelic"
func main() {
// Assumes the NEW_RELIC_API_KEY environment variable contains your New
// Relic Event API key. This will error if it does not.
controller, err := newrelic.InstallNewPipeline("My Service")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer controller.Stop()

}This exporter is built with the alpha release of OpenTelemetry Go client. Due to the rapid development of OpenTelemetry, this exporter does not guarantee compatibility with future releases of the OpenTelemetry APIs. Additionally, this exporter may introduce changes that are not backwards compatible without a major version increment. We will strive to ensure backwards compatibility when a stable version of the OpenTelemetry Go client is released.
