Monitoring the health of your on-prem IT infrastructure in New Relic

The monitoring available with this integration gives you full visualization into your on-prem IT infrastructure.

• Monitor the health of your hardware resources, including processors, memory modules, disks, network cards, and more.
• Monitor and assess the CO₂ emissions linked to the energy consumption of your data centers.
• Evaluate the energy efficiency of your various data centers daily, monthly, or yearly based on collected power consumption metrics (no smart PDUs needed).
• Identify the optimal temperature for your data centers through real metrics and data-driven suggestions. Estimate potential savings by considering a slight increase in temperature.
