New Relic infrastructure monitoring provides an integration for Microsoft Azure's Virtual Network that reports data from your Virtual Network service to New Relic. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be captured.
Features
New Relic's integration for Azure Virtual Network reports metric data about your virtual networks (VNets), like packets dropped per second or bytes forwarded per second. It also collects data about the status and configuration of your account.
You can monitor and alert on your Virtual Network data from New Relic, and you can create custom queries and chart dashboards.
Activate integration
To enable this integration follow standard procedures to activate your Azure service in New Relic.
Configuration and polling
You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.
Default polling information for the Virtual Network integration:
- Polling interval: 1 minute for metrics; 5 minutes for inventory
- Resolution: 1 data point per minute
Find and use data
To find your integration data, go to one.newrelic.com > Infrastructure > Azure and look for the integration.
You can query and explore your data using the AzureVirtualNetworksPublicIpAddressSample
event type.

Inventory data
EOL NOTICE
After March 2022, we're discontinuing support for several capabilities, including inventory data for cloud integrations. For more details, including how you can easily prepare for this transition, see our Explorers Hub post.
Inventory data is information about your system's state and configuration. For details on how to find and use inventory data, see Understand and use data.
