Understand and use data from infrastructure integrations

With our infrastructure integrations, you can monitor the performance of many popular services. Here are some tips on how to find, understand, and use data reported from infrastructure integrations.

Explore your infrastructure integration's data

The best way to understand infrastructure integrations's data and see what you can do with it is to enable an integration and explore the data in the New Relic UI.

Some recommendations for exploring:

  • View dashboards:

    • For AWS, Azure, and GCP data:
