Integrate with Terraform

For seamless integration of your AWS account with New Relic, Integration via CloudFormation and CloudWatch metric stream is the most recommended approach. If you are already managing your AWS accounts and services using Terraform, you might prefer the following integration method because New Relic offers an AWS Cloud Integrations module that simplifies setting up the integration.

Prerequisites

Before you begin integrating your AWS account with New Relic, ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

• Permissions for cloud integrations: You’ll need these permissions for your New Relic account.
• The New Relic account ID and region that you want to link to AWS.

Integration steps

To integrate your AWS account with New Relic, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Infrastructure > AWS.

2. Select the correct account.

3. Click Set up integration.

4. Follow the instructions on each screen, and fill in the fields that apply to you. For this integration, choose the following options in the given screens:

   1. Choose Data type(s): Metrics
   2. Choose a setup method: Automate with Terraform

5. On the Select services screen, if needed, use the Show resources not supported by CloudWatch Metric Streams toggle, select the services you want to monitor, and then continue.

6. From the Terraform screen, open the documentation that guides how to connect your New Relic account with the Terraform provider account.
