We offer a cloud integration for reporting your Azure PostgreSQL flexible server data to our platform. Here we explain how to activate the integration and what data it collects.

## Activate the integration [#activate]

To enable the integration follow standard procedures to [activate your Azure service](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/activate-azure-integrations)

## 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/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/azure-integration-polling) information for the Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server integration:

-   New Relic polling interval: 5 minutes

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

To find your integration data, go to **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com/ "Link opens in a new window.") > Infrastructure > Azure** and select the integration.

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

| Entity | Event Type                            | Provider                        |
| ------ | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Server | `AzurePostgreSqlFlexibleServerSample` | `AzurePostgreSqlFlexibleServer` |

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 Azure PostgreSQL flexible server data for server.
