Amazon Database Migration Service integration

New Relic integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for reporting your AWS Database Migration Services (DMS) metrics and other data to New Relic.

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

Features

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

Activate integration

This integration is available through CloudWatch MetricStreams.

To enable this integration, see how to connect AWS services to New Relic via CloudWatch Metric Streams.

Find and use data [find-data]

To find your integration's metrics, go to one.newrelic.com > Metrics and events and filter by aws.dms.

Additionally, you can find the entities associated with Database Migration Services by going to one.newrelic.com and searching for dms.

Metric data

This New Relic infrastructure integration collects the following Amazon Database Migration Service data:

All imported data has one common dimension: ReplicationInstanceIdentifier

Replication Instance Metrics data

Metric (min, max, average, count, sum)	Unit	Description
`AvailableMemory`	Bytes	An estimate of how much memory is available for starting new applications, without swapping.
`CPUAllocated`	Percent	The percentage of CPU maximally allocated for the task (0 means no limit).
`CPUUtilization`	Count	The percentage of allocated vCPU (virtual CPU) currently in use on the instance.
`DiskQueueDepth`	Count	The number of outstanding read/write requests (I/Os) waiting to access the disk.
`FreeStorageSpace`	Bytes	The amount of available storage space.
`FreeMemory`	Bytes	The amount of physical memory available for use by applications, page cache, and for the kernel’s own data structures.
`FreeableMemory`	Bytes	The amount of available random access memory.
`MemoryAllocated`	MiB	The maximum allocation of memory for the task (0 means no limits).
`WriteIOPS`	Count/Second	The average number of disk write I/O operations per second.
`ReadIOPS`	Count/Second	The average number of disk read I/O operations per second.
`WriteThroughput`	Bytes/Second	The average number of bytes write from disk per second.
`ReadThroughput`	Bytes/Second	The average number of bytes read from disk per second.
`WriteLatency`	Milliseconds	The average amount of time taken per disk I/O (output) operation.
`ReadLatency`	Milliseconds	The average amount of time taken per disk I/O (input) operation.
`SwapUsage`	Bytes	The amount of swap space used on the replication instance.
`NetworkTransmitThroughput`	Bytes/second	The outgoing (Transmit) network traffic on the replication instance, including both customer database traffic and AWS DMS traffic used for monitoring and replication.
`NetworkReceiveThroughput`	Bytes/second	The incoming (Receive) network traffic on the replication instance, including both customer database traffic and AWS DMS traffic used for monitoring and replication.

Replication Task Metrics data

Metric (min, max, average, count, sum)	Unit	Description
`FullLoadThroughputBandwidthTarget`	KB/Second	Outgoing data transmitted from a full load for the target.
`FullLoadThroughputRowsTarget`	Rows/Second	Outgoing changes from a full load for the target.
`CDCIncomingChanges`	Count	The total number of change events at a point-in-time that are waiting to be applied to the target.
`CDCChangesMemorySource`	Count	Amount of rows accumulating in a memory and waiting to be committed from the source.
`CDCChangesMemoryTarget`	Count	Amount of rows accumulating in a memory and waiting to be committed to the target.
`CDCChangesDiskSource`	Count	Amount of rows accumulating on disk and waiting to be committed from the source.
`CDCChangesDiskTarget`	Count	Amount of rows accumulating on disk and waiting to be committed to the target.
`CDCThroughputBandwidthTarget`	KB/Second	Outgoing data transmitted for the target.
`CDCThroughputRowsSource`	Rows/Second	Incoming task changes from the source.
`CDCThroughputRowsTarget`	Rows/Second	Outgoing task changes for the target.
`CDCLatencySource`	Seconds	The gap between the last event captured from the source endpoint and current system time stamp of the AWS DMS instance.
`CDCLatencyTarget`	Seconds	The gap between the first event timestamp waiting to commit on the target and the current timestamp of the AWS DMS instance.
`MemoryUsage`	Megabytes	The control group (cgroup) memory.usage_in_bytes consumed by a task.

Create alerts

You can set up 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.
