Added [PostgreSQL monitoring via OpenTelemetry](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/database/postgresql/introduction) as a public preview integration, covering guided setup, hosted and Amazon RDS configuration, `EXPLAIN` permissions, and a full metrics reference. - Added [Private location capabilities](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/synthetic-monitoring/guides/private-location-capabilities) to consolidate synthetic monitoring private location features like custom CA certificates, mTLS, and Terraform automation. - Added [Compute User Limits](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/accounts/accounts-billing/new-relic-one-pricing-billing/compute-budgets/compute-user-limits), now generally available, for setting per-user monthly compute budgets. - Added [Mobile User Journeys](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/mobile-monitoring-ui/mobile-app-pages/user-journeys) to show the sequence of events leading up to a crash, error, or ANR. - Added [Configure SQL Query Receiver](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/database/capabilities/sql-query-receiver) as a public preview feature for running custom SQL queries against Oracle or SQL Server databases and ingesting the results as metrics. ### Major changes - Updated [GCP integrations custom roles](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/integrations-custom-roles) with permissions for 18 additional services, including AlloyDB, Bigtable, Firestore, and Vertex AI. - Updated [Oracle Database monitoring with NRDOT](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/database/otel-oracledb) with full support for Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), including installation, privilege grants, and multi-receiver configuration. ### Minor changes - Corrected [Report custom events and attributes](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/custom-data/custom-events/report-mobile-monitoring-custom-events-attributes) and [Set the max event pool size](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile/mobile-sdk/set-max-event-pool-size) to state the default mobile event harvest cycle is 60 seconds, not 600. - Clarified [User management concepts](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/accounts/accounts-billing/new-relic-one-user-management/user-management-concepts) that custom organization-scoped roles don't automatically receive permissions for new org-scoped features. - Clarified [Manage multiple user records](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/accounts/accounts-billing/account-setup/multiple-user-records) that switching between user records with the same email uses the "Other users" option in the user menu. - Clarified [Dashboard template variables](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/dashboards/dashboard-template-variables) that the Include/exclude toggle lives in each variable's own dropdown, not the shared variables bar. - Clarified [Azure Cost Management monitoring integration](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/microsoft-azure-integrations/azure-integrations-list/azure-cost-management-monitoring-integration) that cost data requires keeping the traditional Azure integration enabled. - Removed an outdated note in [Share notebooks](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/query-your-data/explore-query-data/notebooks/share-notebooks) stating notebooks lack granular permission settings. - Added `onCallMembers` field coverage to the [NerdGraph Teams tutorial](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/nerdgraph/examples/nerdgraph-teams-tutorial). -

Restructured [Windows MSI install fails with error 1603](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/infrastructure-troubleshooting/troubleshoot-infrastructure/windows-msi-install-fails-error-1603) to prioritize missing mandatory `GENERATE_CONFIG` and `LICENSE_KEY` parameters as the most common cause. - Updated [Windows MSI installer](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/infrastructure-agent/windows-installation/windows-msi-installer) so the default silent-install command includes the required `GENERATE_CONFIG` and `LICENSE_KEY` parameters. ### Release notes -
