New Relic integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to monitor [AWS Backup](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/) metrics and other data to New Relic.

This document explains how to activate the integration, and describes the data reported.

## Features [#features]

Collect and send telemetry data to New Relic from your CloudSearch services using our integration. Monitor your services, query incoming data, and build dashboards to observe everything at a glance.

## Activate integration [#activate]

This integration is available through CloudWatch MetricStreams.

To enable this integration, see how to [connect AWS services to New Relic via CloudWatch Metric Streams](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/connect/aws-metric-stream-setup/).

## Find and use data [#find-data]

To find your integration's metrics, go to **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Metrics and events** and filter by `aws.cloudsearch`.

Additionally, you can find the entities associated with AWS Backup by going to [one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com/all-entities) and searching for `cloudsearch`.

## Metric data [#metrics]

This New Relic infrastructure integration collects the following Amazon CloudSearch data:

### CloudSearch Metric data

### Create alerts

You can set up alerts to notify you if there are any changes. For example, you can set up an alert to notify relevant parties of critical or fatal errors.
