AWS Elastic Beanstalk monitoring integration

Importante

Enable the AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

New Relic infrastructure integrations include an AWS Elastic Beanstalk integration for reporting your Beanstalk data to New Relic. This document explains the integration's features, how to activate it, and what data can be reported.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a dynamic service that allows easy deployment and scalability for your applications. The "application" in AWS Beanstalk is the environment. An "application" can have several environments associated with it.

Requirements

AWS Elastic Beanstalk will send some basic metrics to Amazon CloudWatch by default. Additionally, you can enable enhanced health reporting as custom metrics; enabling these metrics may add additional charges to your Amazon CloudWatch account pricing. To enable enhanced CloudWatch metrics, see Publishing Amazon CloudWatch custom metrics for an environment.

Activate integration

By default, no metrics are selected in the Elastic Beanstalk settings. You must select them for each environment to generate metrics in the New Relic UI. If no metrics are selected, no data will be reported to New Relic.

To enable this integration:

Follow the instructions in Connect AWS services to New Relic.
Update your Elastic Beanstalk settings to select which metrics (default is no metrics) to watch for each environment: In the AWS Elastic Beanstalk UI, go to Configuration > Health, then configure the CloudWatch custom metrics for health reporting.

After you select the metrics you want to be reported for each environment, Elastic Beanstalk will generate data from the moment both instance and environment data objects are created.

Configuration and polling

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.

Default polling information for the AWS Elastic Beanstalk integration:

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

View and use data

To view and use your integration data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS and select one of the AWS Elastic Beanstalk integration links.
