Observability survived: you cannot prompt your way to production metrics.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the analytics job, so this one still earns its $99/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI summarises telemetry it still cannot collect on its own. OpenAI, May 13, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Grafana + Prometheus.
- What the call is worth $1,188/yr
- $99/mo at the entry paid tier — $1,188 a year per seat.

The backstory
New Relic ingests traces, metrics and logs from live systems. Models made the interpretation layer much better — natural-language querying, incident summaries, anomaly explanations — but the agents, the ingest pipeline and the retention are the product. This is a category AI strengthened rather than threatened.
