Amazon SES monitoring integration | New Relic Documentation

Important

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.

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based service for sending and receiving email. With New Relic's integration with Amazon SES, you can gather metrics and configuration options related to emails sent and received.

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 SES integration:

New Relic polling interval: 1 minute resolution

Find and use data

After you connect your AWS integrations, New Relic will start monitoring your AWS data. To find and use your data, including links to your New Relic One dashboards and alert settings: Go to one.newrelic.com > Infrastructure > AWS and select the integration.

You can query and explore your data using these events:
