> #### ⚠️ IMPORTANT
>
> Enable the [AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-metric-stream/) to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

[New Relic includes an integration](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/introduction-infra-monitoring) for reporting your AWS Elemental MediaConvert data to our platform. Here we explain how to activate the integration and what data it collects.

## Activate the integration [#activate]

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to [Connect AWS services](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/infrastructure-integrations/getting-started/connect-aws-integrations-infrastructure).

## Configuration and polling [#polling]

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using [configuration options](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/new-relic-integrations/getting-started/configure-polling-frequency-data-collection-cloud-integrations).

Default [polling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-polling-intervals-infrastructure-integrations) information for the AWS Elemental MediaConvert integration:

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

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

To find your integration data in Infrastructure, go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > AWS** and select an integration.

Data is attached to the following [event type](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/#event-data):

| Entity    | Event Type                       | Provider                   |
| --------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Queue     | `AwsMediaConvertQueueSample`     | `AwsMediaConvertQueue`     |
| Operation | `AwsMediaConvertOperationSample` | `AwsMediaConvertOperation` |

For more on how to use your data, see [Understand and use integration data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations/find-use-infrastructure-integration-data).

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects AWS Elemental MediaConvert data for Queue and Operation.
