> #### ⚠️ IMPORTANT
>
> Enable the [AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-metric-stream/) to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

[New Relic infrastructure integrations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/introduction-infra-monitoring) include an integration for reporting your AWS Route53 Resolver data to our. Here we explain how to activate the integration and what data it collects.

## Activate integration [#activate]

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to [Connect AWS services to New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/infrastructure-integrations/getting-started/connect-aws-integrations-infrastructure).

## Configuration and polling [#polling]

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using [configuration options](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/new-relic-integrations/getting-started/configure-polling-frequency-data-collection-cloud-integrations).

Default [polling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-polling-intervals-infrastructure-integrations) information for the AWS Route53 Resolver integration:

-   New Relic polling interval: 5 minutes
-   Amazon CloudWatch data interval: 1 minute

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

To find your integration data, go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > AWS** and select an integration.

Data is attached to the following [event type](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/#event-data):

| Entity   | Event Type                         | Provider                     |
| -------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Endpoint | `AwsRoute53ResolverEndpointSample` | `AwsRoute53ResolverEndpoint` |

For more on how to use your data, see [Understand and use integration data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations/find-use-infrastructure-integration-data).

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects AWS Route53 Resolver data for Endpoint.

### Route53 Resolver Endpoint data

| Metric                          | Unit  | Description                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `inboundQueryVolume`            | Count | For inbound endpoints, the number of DNS queries forwarded from your network to your VPCs through the endpoint specified by EndpointId.  |
| `outboundQueryVolume`           | Count | For outbound endpoints, the number of DNS queries forwarded from your VPCs to your network through the endpoint specified by EndpointId. |
| `outboundQueryAggregatedVolume` | Count | For outbound endpoints, the total number of DNS queries forwarded from Amazon VPCs to your network.                                      |
