## Amazon CloudWatch Metric streams and API polling [#api-polling]

We strongly recommend that you use the CloudWatch Metric Streams integration as it directly connects with the metric streams repository holding your AWS metric data. You may have a stack that requires instrumentation with our [API Polling integrations](/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/connect/connect-aws-new-relic-infrastructure-monitoring/), however. For example, these AWS services aren't currently supported by the CloudWatch Metric Streams integration:

* We sometimes use AWS Kinesis Data Firehose as the delivery method from AWS to New Relic, so we recommend reviewing the [AWS Firehose pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/data-firehose/pricing/).
* When you optionally enable AWS Config to enrich CloudWatch metrics with resource metadata, you're charged based on the number of configuration items recorded. See the [AWS Config pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/config/pricing/) for details.

* [AWS Resource Groups Tagging API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resourcegroupstagging/latest/APIReference/overview.html) enriches metrics with custom tags defined in the associated AWS resources. This affects both polling and metric streams.

New Relic uses the Amazon CloudWatch API to obtain metrics from your AWS services when you use the API Polling integration instead of CloudWatch Metric Streams. Some situations may increase the number of calls to the CloudWatch API to exceed the <DNT>**1 million free**</DNT> limits granted by AWS and [increase your CloudWatch bill](/docs/infrastructure/amazon-integrations/troubleshooting/cloudwatch-billing-increase).
