newrelic 14.12.0

v14.12.0

on Node.js NPM

v14.12.0 (2026-11-09)

Features

• Added ai_monitoring.basic_telemetry.enabled and enabled basic AI Monitoring by default (#4330) (c126335)
  • LLM instrumentation is now enabled by default and sends Llm* custom events, spans, and metrics (without message content) unless configured otherwise. To opt out, set ai_monitoring.basic_telemetry.enabled to false in newrelic.js, or set the NEW_RELIC_AI_MONITORING_BASIC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED environment variable to false.
  • ai_monitoring.enabled and the NEW_RELIC_AI_MONITORING_ENABLED environment variable are deprecated and will be removed in a future major version, but setting either one to false also opts out.
• Disabled core tracing (#4394) (2d0ee8e)
