Amazon EFS monitoring integration

重要

Enable the AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

New Relic's integrations include an Amazon EFS integration for reporting your EFS data to New Relic. This document explains the integration's features, how to activate it, and what data can be reported.

Features

With New Relic's integration for monitoring AWS Elastic File System (EFS), you can monitor EFS file system size, read/write operations, I/O capacity, throughput, and more. AWS integration data is also available for analysis, queries, and chart creation.

If connected through a VPC, you can also use the EFS file system with your own on-premise servers, which allows you to share file systems across different applications hosted on hybrid solutions.

Activate integration

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

Configuration and polling

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

Default polling information for the Amazon EFS integration:

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

Find and use data

To find this integration's data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS and select one of the Amazon EFS integration links.

You can query and explore your data using the BlockDeviceSample event type, with a provider value of EfsFileSystem.

For more on how to find and use integration data, see Understand integration data.

Metric data

This integration collects the following Amazon EFS metrics:

Metric	Description
`BurstCreditBalance`	The number of burst credits that a file system has. Burst credits allow a file system to burst to throughput levels above a file system’s baseline level for periods of time. For more information, see Throughput scaling in Amazon EFS. The `Minimum` statistic is the smallest burst credit balance for any minute during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the largest burst credit balance for any minute during the period. The `Average` statistic is the average burst credit balance during the period. Units: Bytes Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average`
`ClientConnections`	The number of client connections to a file system. When using a standard client, there is one connection per mounted Amazon EC2 instance. Note: To calculate the average `ClientConnections` for periods greater than one minute, divide the `Sum` statistic by the number of minutes in the period. Units: Count of client connections Valid statistics: `Sum`
`DataReadIOBytes`	The number of bytes for each file system read operation. The `Sum` statistic is the total number of bytes associated with read operations. The `Minimum` statistic is the size of the smallest read operation during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the size of the largest read operation during the period. The `Average` statistic is the average size of read operations during the period. The `SampleCount` statistic provides a count of read operations. Units: Bytes for `Minimum, Maximum, Average,` and `Sum`. Count for `SampleCount`. Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average, Sum, SampleCount`
`DataWriteIOBytes`	The number of bytes for each file system write operation. The `Sum` statistic is the total number of bytes associated with write operations. The `Minimum` statistic is the size of the smallest write operation during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the size of the largest write operation during the period. The `Average` statistic is the average size of write operations during the period. The `SampleCount` statistic provides a count of write operations. Units: Bytes are the units for the `Minimum, Maximum, Average`, and `Sum` statistics. Count for `SampleCount`. Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average, Sum, SampleCount`
`MetadataIOBytes`	The number of bytes for each metadata operation. The `Sum` statistic is the total number of bytes associated with metadata operations. The `Minimum` statistic is the size of the smallest metadata operation during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the size of the largest metadata operation during the period. The `Average` statistic is the size of the average metadata operation during the period. The `SampleCount` statistic provides a count of metadata operations. Units: Bytes are the units for the `Minimum, Maximum, Average,` and `Sum` statistics. Count for `SampleCount`. Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average, Sum, SampleCount`
`PercentIOLimit`	Shows how close a file system is to reaching the I/O limit of the General Purpose performance mode. If this metric is at 100% more often than not, consider moving your application to a file system using the Max I/O performance mode. Note: This metric is only submitted for file systems using the General Purpose performance mode. Units: Percent
`PermittedThroughput`	The maximum amount of throughput a file system is allowed, given the file system size and `BurstCreditBalance`. For more information, see Amazon EFS Performance. The `Minimum` statistic is the smallest throughput permitted for any minute during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the highest throughput permitted for any minute during the period. The `Average` statistic is the average throughput permitted during the period. Units: Bytes per second Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average`
`TotalIOBytes`	The number of bytes for each file system operation, including data read, data write, and metadata operations. The `Sum` statistic is the total number of bytes associated with all file system operations. The `Minimum` statistic is the size of the smallest operation during the period. The `Maximum` statistic is the size of the largest operation during the period. The `Average` statistic is the average size of an operation during the period. The `SampleCount` statistic provides a count of all operations. Note: To calculate the average operations per second for a period, divide the `SampleCount` statistic by the number of seconds in the period. To calculate the average throughput (Bytes per second) for a period, divide the `Sum` statistic by the number of seconds in the period. Units: Bytes for `Minimum, Maximum, Average,` and `Sum` statistics. Count for `SampleCount`. Valid statistics: `Minimum, Maximum, Average, Sum, SampleCount`
