New Relic Support

24/7 New Relic Support with a 15-Minute Emergency SLA

AceMQ supports the parts of New Relic that are actually yours — agent instrumentation, trace propagation across service boundaries, NRQL and dashboard design, alert quality, and ingest cost governance. New Relic runs the platform; we make sure your telemetry is correct, useful, and not quietly doubling your bill.

Escalation Path

Your first hour of a New Relic outage

Most vendors publish an SLA number. This is what actually happens, minute by minute, when you page a senior AceMQ engineer.

T+0

You page us

Phone, email, or Slack — any channel reaches the on-call senior engineer directly. No web form, no tier-1 queue.

T+15

Named engineer live

A senior engineer who already knows your environment joins a live bridge. Zero cold-start, no re-explaining your topology.

T+30

Root cause isolated

Direct broker access, log and metric review, and a working hypothesis with a rollback plan before we touch anything.

Post

Written RCA

Documented root cause, the fix applied, and the prevention steps — delivered after every P1, not just when asked.

Response Times

SLA tiers, contractually guaranteed

Every tier reaches a senior New Relic engineer. There is no tier-1 triage layer to get through.

P1 — Emergency
15 min

Production down, messages not flowing, cluster or broker failure

P2 — Critical
1 hour

Severe degradation, rising error rates, approaching capacity limits

P3 — High
4 hours

Performance issues, configuration problems, non-critical failures

P4 — Standard
Next day

Questions, guidance, best practices, non-urgent improvements

Incident Triage

New Relic problems we fix every week

These are real symptoms from real New Relic production environments — and the first thing our engineers check when one comes in.

Ingest bill jumped 40% this month with no traffic increase
What we check firstIngest broken down by data type and source in the data management view. In practice it is one of three things: a custom metric emitted per request instead of per interval, a service that shipped with debug-level log forwarding on, or infrastructure agents newly enabled on a large fleet.
Typical resolution1–3 hours
A service stopped reporting to APM right after a deploy
What we check firstWhether the agent is loading at all — agent log at startup, license key presence in the new environment, and agent version against the runtime version. New base images and rebuilt containers routinely lose the env var or ship an agent that does not support the upgraded runtime.
Typical resolutionUnder 1 hour
Distributed trace stops at a service boundary
What we check firstTrace context propagation across the hop — which header format each side emits and accepts (W3C traceparent vs. New Relic's own), whether the queue or gateway in between forwards it, and whether one side is running an agent old enough to predate W3C support.
Typical resolution2–4 hours
NRQL queries and dashboards time out or return partial data
What we check firstCardinality of the attributes being faceted on. A custom attribute carrying a user ID, request ID, or full URL explodes the unique value count and makes every FACET over it expensive. We find the offending attribute before touching the query.
Typical resolution1–2 hours
Alerts flapping — dozens of open-and-close notifications an hour
What we check firstThreshold, evaluation window, and aggregation delay on the condition. Flapping is usually a threshold set at the normal peak plus a one-minute window with no evaluation offset, so late-arriving data reopens an incident that just closed.
Typical resolution1–2 hours
APM transaction list is thousands of near-identical entries
What we check firstHow transactions are being named. Path parameters — IDs, tenant slugs, dates — leaking into the transaction name creates a new entry per request. We fix it at the framework instrumentation level so the metric grouping collapses back to routes.
Typical resolution2–4 hours
An alert did not fire during a real outage
What we check firstWhether the signal went absent rather than bad. When a service dies, the metric stops arriving entirely and a threshold condition has nothing to evaluate — this needs a loss-of-signal setting, not a lower threshold.
Typical resolutionUnder 1 hour
Logs are in New Relic but nothing is parsed or searchable
What we check firstLog parsing rules and attribute extraction against the actual log format. Unstructured multi-line application logs arrive as a single message blob until a parsing rule or structured-logging change is in place.
Typical resolutionSame day

Resolution times reflect typical New Relic engagements under an active AceMQ support contract. Every P1 closes with a written root-cause analysis.

What's Included

Everything in your New Relic support contract

No add-on pricing for incidents. No per-ticket charges. One contract covers the whole surface.

Ingest Cost Governance

Where your bill actually goes, by data type and source — then drop filters, sampling rates, log forwarding rules, and metric cardinality changes that cut ingest without losing the signal you rely on during an incident.

Emergency Incident Response

Observability blind during an outage, agents not reporting, or alerts that did not fire. A senior engineer joins a live bridge within 15 minutes — including helping you debug the underlying incident, not just the tooling.

Instrumentation & Trace Coverage

Agent deployment across your runtimes, custom instrumentation for the code paths that matter, and end-to-end trace context propagation across queues, gateways, and service boundaries where traces usually break.

Alert Quality & On-Call Hygiene

Rebuilding noisy alert policies into conditions your on-call trusts: correct thresholds and windows, loss-of-signal detection, sensible grouping, and routing that pages the team who can actually act.

NRQL & Dashboard Engineering

Dashboards built around your service-level objectives rather than agent defaults, plus NRQL query tuning and cardinality control so the queries return before your incident call ends.

Migration & OpenTelemetry Strategy

Moving onto New Relic from another vendor, or onto OpenTelemetry instrumentation so your telemetry is portable. We plan and execute both, including honest advice on what you lose either way.

Anywhere You Run It

We support New Relic wherever it's deployed

Cloud, Kubernetes, bare metal, hybrid, and air-gapped — including environments where you can't give us outbound network access.

Why AceMQ

What you get that you don't get elsewhere

We Treat Ingest Cost as an Engineering Problem

Observability bills grow because instrumentation decisions get made once and never revisited. We audit ingest against what your teams actually query during incidents, and cut the rest — with the reduction documented so it survives the next deploy.

Named Engineers, Zero Cold Start

The same senior engineers stay on your account. They know your service map, your agent versions, and your alert policies — so a P1 call starts with diagnosis, not twenty minutes of you explaining your architecture.

We Debug the Layers the Vendor Won't

New Relic support owns the platform. Your instrumentation, your application code, your queries, your log pipelines, and the incident the telemetry is pointing at are all outside that boundary — and all inside ours.

No Tier-1 Triage Layer

You reach a senior engineer directly by phone, email, or Slack. No help desk collecting information to pass along, and no escalation approval standing between you and someone who can actually fix it.

Genuine Follow-the-Sun Coverage

Engineers across 26+ countries and every time zone. Your 3am incident is someone's mid-afternoon — no overnight skeleton crew, no waiting for a region to wake up.

Full-Stack, Not Just the Agent

The interesting questions are rarely about New Relic. We diagnose across the JVM or runtime, the database, the message broker, and Kubernetes — because that is where the thing your dashboard is flagging actually lives.
