This support reduces friction of sending logs
to New Relic from Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing customers to
quickly understand key insights for performance analytics and
troubleshoot network connectivity
New Relic (NYSE: NEWR), the observability company, announced
support for Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Flow Logs on
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to reduce the friction of sending logs
to New Relic. Amazon VPC Flow Logs from AWS is a feature that
allows customers to capture information about the IP traffic going
to and from network interfaces in their Virtual Private Cloud
(VPC). With New Relic support for Amazon VPC Flow Logs, both AWS
and New Relic customers can quickly gain a clear understanding of a
network’s performance and troubleshoot activity without impacting
the network throughput or latency.
Network telemetry is challenging even for network engineers. To
unlock cloud-scale observability, engineers need to explore VPC
performance and connectivity across multiple accounts and regions
to understand if an issue started in the network or somewhere else.
To solve this, New Relic has streamlined the delivery of Amazon VPC
Flow Logs by allowing engineers to send them to New Relic via
Kinesis Data Firehose, which reliably captures, transforms, and
delivers streaming data to data lakes, data stores, and analytics
services. With New Relic’s simple “add data” interface, it only
takes moments to configure Amazon VPC Flow Logs using the AWS
Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or an AWS CloudFormation template.
Instead of digging through raw logs across multiple accounts, any
engineer can begin with an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) instance they own and begin to explore the data that matters,
regardless of the AWS account or AWS Region.
“New Relic continues to invest in our relationship with AWS.
Helping customers gain visibility into their cloud networking
environment increases their overall application observability,”
said Riya Shanmugam, GVP, Global Alliances and Channels at New
Relic. “Our support for Amazon VPC shows our commitment to
enhancing our joint customers’ observability experience.”
“AWS is delighted to continue our strategic collaboration with
New Relic to help customers innovate and migrate faster to the
cloud,” said Nishant Mehta, Director of PM – EC2 and VPC
Networking at AWS. “New Relic’s connected experience for Amazon
VPC Flow Logs, paired with the simplicity of using Kinesis Data
Firehose, enables our joint customers to easily understand how
their networks are performing, troubleshoot networking issues more
quickly, and explore their VPC resources more readily.”
With the New Relic support for Amazon VPC Flow Logs on Kinesis
Data Firehose, customers can:
- Monitor and alert on network traffic from within New
Relic.
- Visualize network performance metrics such as bytes and
packets per second, as well as accepts and rejects per second
across every TCP or UDP port.
- Explore flow log deviations to look for unexpected
changes in network volume or health.
- Diagnose overly restrictive security group rules or
potentially malicious traffic issues.
”Our architecture contains above 200 microservices running on
AWS. When something goes wrong, we need to find the root cause
quickly to put out what we at Gett term as ‘fires,’” said Dani
Konstantinovski, Global Support Manager at Gett. “With New
Relic capabilities we can identify the problem, understand exactly
what services were affected, what’s the reason, and what we need to
do to resolve it. New Relic gives us this observability—it helps us
to provide better service for our customers.”
“Proactively managing customer experience is essential to all
businesses that provide part or all of their services through
applications. Therefore it’s essential for engineers to have a
clear understanding of their network performance and have the data
needed to troubleshoot activity before it impacts customers. Also,
the quality of the data is fundamental to making good decisions,”
said Stephen Elliot, IDC Group Vice President, I&O, Cloud
Operations and DevOps. “Solutions that ensure fast delivery of
high-quality data provide engineers with the ability to act quickly
and decisively with confidence, saving businesses from the costs
associated with negative customer experiences.”
The New Relic support for Amazon VPC Flow Logs on Kinesis Data
Firehose is available to all New Relic Full Platform users. For
