Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams
Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams is an AWS service that creates a real-time stream of metrics to a destination of your choice. To stream your AWS data to New Relic, you can create a custom Firehose that forwards AWS metrics to our CloudWatch Metric Streams integration. This lets you view your AWS data in the New Relic platform.

Once you forward your AWS data to New Relic, you can view your data in a dashboard.
