In order to use this integration, you must have an AWS Business or Enterprise [support plan](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/plans/).

The AWS Trusted Advisor is an online tool that provides real-time guidance to help you follow AWS best practices for provisioning your resources.

New Relic infrastructure integrations include an integration for reporting your service limits data to New Relic products. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be captured.

Activate integration [#activate]

To enable this integration, follow standard procedures to connect AWS services to New Relic.

This integration requires additional access permissions not covered by default managed policies. You can find out more on [Integrations and managed policies](/docs/integrations/amazon-integrations/getting-started/integrations-managed-policies#recommended) page.

Configuration and polling [#polling]

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

Default polling information for the AWS Trusted Advisor integration:

• New Relic polling interval: 1 hour

In order to have fresh data, New Relic programmatically sends refresh requests to AWS. Trusted Advisor checks are automatically refreshed by AWS weekly only for customers with AWS Business or Enterprise Support plans.

View and use data [#find-data]

To view and use your integration data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS and select the AWS Trusted Advisor integration link.

You can query and explore your data using the TrustedAdvisorSample event type within one category of data:

• Service limits: Appears in New Relic with provider value ServiceLimits.

Metric data

There is one Trusted Advisor category of data: ServiceLimits.
