> #### ⚠️ IMPORTANT
>
> Enable the [AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-metric-stream/) to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

New Relic offers an integration for reporting your [Amazon Athena](https://aws.amazon.com/athena/) data. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be reported.

## Activate integration [#activate]

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to [Connect AWS services to New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/infrastructure-integrations/getting-started/connect-aws-integrations-infrastructure).

## Configuration and polling [#polling]

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using [configuration options](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/new-relic-integrations/getting-started/configure-polling-frequency-data-collection-cloud-integrations).

Default [polling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/aws-integrations-list/aws-polling-intervals-infrastructure-integrations) information for the Amazon Athena integration:

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

## Find and use data [#find-data]

To find your integration data, go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > AWS** and select an integration.

You can [query and explore your data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/using-new-relic/data/understand-data/query-new-relic-data) using this [event type](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/#event-data):

| Entity    | Event Type                 | Provider             |
| --------- | -------------------------- | -------------------- |
| WorkGroup | `AwsAthenaWorkGroupSample` | `AwsAthenaWorkGroup` |

For more on how to use your data, see [Understand and use integration data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations/find-use-infrastructure-integration-data).

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects Amazon Athena data for WorkGroup.

### Athena WorkGroup data

| Metric               | Unit         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ProcessedBytes`     | Bytes        | The amount of data in Megabytes that Athena scanned per query. For queries that were canceled (either by the users, or automatically, if they reached the limit), this includes the amount of data scanned before the cancellation time. |
| `TotalExecutionTime` | Milliseconds | The amount of time in seconds it takes Athena to run the query.                                                                                                                                                                          |
