[New Relic's integrations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/introduction-infra-monitoring) include an integration for reporting your [Microsoft Azure Database for PostgreSQL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/postgresql/) metrics and other data to New Relic. This document explains how to activate the integration and describes the data reported.

## Features

New Relic gathers database data from the Azure Database for PostgreSQL service, which provides fully managed, enterprise-ready PostgreSQL Community database as a service. The service provides high availability, elastic scaling, automatic backups, and data protection at-rest and in-motion.

Using New Relic, you can:

-   View Azure Database for PostgreSQL data in pre-built New Relic dashboards.
-   Run [custom queries and visualize the data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/using-new-relic/data/understand-data/query-new-relic-data).
-   Create alert conditions to notify you of changes in data.

## Activate integration [#activate]

Follow standard procedures to [activate your Azure service in New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/activate-azure-integrations).

## Configuration and polling [#polling]

New Relic queries your Azure Database services according to a default [polling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/azure-integration-polling) interval, which varies depending on the integration. For Azure Database for PostgreSQL integrations:

-   Polling interval: 5 minutes (maximum recommended polling frequency: 1 hour)
-   Resolution: 1 data point per minute

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).

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

To [explore your integration data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations/find-use-infrastructure-integration-data): Go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > Azure > (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 the `AzurePostgreSqlServerSample` event type, with a provider value of `AzurePostgreSqlServer`.

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects the following [metric data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations-getting-started/getting-started/understand-integration-data-data-types#metric):
