---

New Relic integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for reporting your [AWS DataSync](https://aws.amazon.com/datasync/) metrics and other data to New Relic.

This document explains how to activate the integration, and describes the data reported.

## Features [#features]

Collect and send telemetry data to New Relic from your AWS DataSync services using our integration. Monitor your services, query incoming data, and build dashboards to observe everything at a glance.

## Activate integration [#activate]

This integration is available through CloudWatch Metric Streams.

To enable this integration, see how to [connect AWS services to New Relic via CloudWatch Metric Streams](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/connect/aws-metric-stream-setup/)

## Find and use data [#find-data]

To find your integration's metrics, go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Metrics and events** and filter by `aws.DataSync`.

Additionally, you can find the entities associated with AWS DataSync by going to [one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com/all-entities) and searching for `datasync`.

## Metric data [#metrics]

This New Relic infrastructure integration collects the following Amazon DataSync data:

| `BytesCompressed`                      | Bytes | The physical number of bytes transferred over the network after compression was applied.    |
| `BytesPreparedDestination`             | Bytes | The total number of bytes of data that are prepared at the destination location.            |
| `BytesPreparedSource`                  | Bytes | The total number of bytes of data that are prepared at the source location.                 |

| `BytesVerifiedDestination`             | Bytes | The total number of bytes of data that are verified at the destination location.            |
| `BytesVerifiedSource`                  | Bytes | The total number of bytes of data that are verified at the source location.                 |
| `BytesWritten`                         | Bytes | The total logical size of all files that have been transferred to the destination location. |
| `FilesPreparedDestination`             | Bytes | The total number of files that are prepared at the destination location.                    |
| `FilesPreparedSource`                  | Bytes | The total number of files that are prepared at the source location.                         |
| `FilesTransferred`                     | Bytes | The actual number of files or metadata that were transferred over the network.              |
| `FilesVerifiedDestination`             | Bytes | The total number of files that are verified at the destination location.                    |
| `FilesVerifiedSource`                  | Bytes | The total number of files that are verified at the source location.                         |

All imported data has one dimension: `TaskId`

### Create alerts

You can set up alerts to notify you if there are any changes. For example, you can set up an alert to notify relevant parties of critical or fatal errors.
