Top 10 Plugins on the New Relic Platform
// New Relic blog

"Monitor all the things" is a mantra we take seriously here at New Relic. And that approach doesn't stop with what New Relic alone tells you about your applications. The plugins published on the New Relic Platform allow users to extend our real-time performance monitoring to include technologies in even highly complex application stacks.

Today there are hundreds of public and private New Relic Platform plugins to extend functionality to other applications and infrastructures. Each new plugin makes it easier for our customers to see the metrics they care about in one place, and that's why we're taking a moment to call out the ones they've found most helpful.

Without further ado, here are the top 10 most-used public plugins on the New Relic Platform to date:
