Amazon DynamoDB monitoring integration

Important

Enable the AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

New Relic infrastructure integrations include an integration for reporting Amazon DynamoDB data to New Relic. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be reported.

Features

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL cloud database that supports both document and key-value store models. With the New Relic DynamoDB Integration, you can quickly understand how request latency or errors are affecting your environment. You'll receive metrics about how the database is performing, service status, and host metadata.

Activate integration

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to Connect AWS services to New Relic.

Configuration and polling

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.

Default polling information for the Amazon DynamoDB integration:

View and use data

To view and use your integration data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS and select one of the Amazon DynamodDB integration links.

You can query and explore your data using the DatastoreSample event type, with a provider value of DynamoDbTable for DynamoDB tables, DynamoDbRegion for regions, or DynamoDbGlobalSecondaryIndex for DynamoDB global secondary indexes.

Metric data

The New Relic Amazon DynamoDB integration collects the following metric data:

Tip

Data indicated with an asterisk * is only fetched if extended inventory collection is on.
