New Relic Cloud Monitoring Polling integrations [AWS/Azure/GCP] will now fetch additional metrics.

AWS EC2:

diskReadBytes
diskWriteBytes
NetworkIn
NetworkOut
NetworkPacketsIn
NetworkPacketsOut

Azure VMs:

Percentage CPU
Network In
Network Out
Disk Read Bytes
Disk Write Bytes
Disk Read Operations/Sec
Disk Write Operations/Sec

GCP Compute Engine (VMs):

instance/cpu/utilization
instance/network/received_bytes_count
instance/network/received_packets_count
instance/network/sent_packets_count
instance/network/sent_bytes_count
instance/disk/read_bytes_count
instance/disk/read_ops_count
instance/disk/write_bytes_count
instance/disk/write_ops_count

Potential impacts

When AWS API Polling, Azure Polling, and GCP integrations are enabled, additional metrics may incur data ingestion costs at 3 to 4KB per metric per host.
