As of December 1st 2023, the New Relic cloud monitoring integrations will report additional metrics. The new metrics are:
AWS EC2:
diskReadOps
diskWriteOps
diskReadBytes
diskWriteBytes
NetworkIn
NetworkOut
NetworkPacketsIn
NetworkPacketsOut
Azure VMs:
Percentage CPU
Network In
Network Out
Disk Read Bytes
Disk Write Bytes
Disk Read Operations/Sec
Disk Write Operations/Sec
GCP Compute Engine (VMs):
instance/cpu/utilization
instance/network/received_bytes_count
instance/network/received_packets_count
instance/network/sent_packets_count
instance/network/sent_bytes_count
instance/disk/read_bytes_count
instance/disk/read_ops_count
instance/disk/write_bytes_count
instance/disk/write_ops_count
Potential impacts
The infrastructure agent is no longer necessary to fetch these metrics.
Note that these metrics may incur additional data ingestion (3-4KB per metric per hour) when any of the three integrations (AWS API Polling, Azure Polling, and GCP integration) are enabled.
