Distributor, a capability of AWS Systems Manager that allows you to install and update software on your instances with version control, now allows you to install the New Relic Infrastructure Monitoring agent directly from Distributor without having to create or maintain any software packages. You can easily deploy the New Relic Infrastructure Monitoring agent across your fleet of AWS Systems Manager managed instances by navigating to the “Third Party” tab in the Distributor console, and selecting to “Install one time” or “Install on a schedule”. 

With this launch, the New Relic Infrastructure Monitoring agent is now available by default along with other AWS and third-party agents. You can use Distributor to easily and securely install or update any of the default available agents on your instances or you can create your own software packages to distribute.

This feature is available in all AWS Commercial Regions, except for Middle East (UAE), Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Europe (Spain), Europe (Milan), Europe (Zurich), and Africa (Cape Town). You can use Distributor to distribute the New Relic Infrastructure Monitoring agent at no additional cost, along with all AWS and third-party owned agents. See the AWS Systems Manager pricing page for more details.
