We're still working on this feature, but we'd love for you to try it out!
This feature is currently provided as part of a preview program pursuant to our pre-release policies.
Integrate support for querying events through the NRQL interface, enhancing your ability to analyze and optimize cloud spending. Each event type includes attributes that enable detailed intelligence and tailored queries. As part of Cloud Cost Intelligence (CCI), we provide three distinct event types to help you manage and understand your cloud expenses:
Event Type | Description |
|---|---|
| CCI Summary Event |
| K8s Event |
| Real-Time Event |
To write effective NRQL queries, it helps to understand how our various NRQL clauses and functions work. For a tutorial, see Introductory NRQL tutorial.
Query your data for Cloud Cost Intelligence
Let us consider the following NRQL query to understand how to query your data for Cloud Cost Intelligence:
In New Relic, navigate to All Capabilities > CloudCost Intelligence. Open the bottom Query Console drawer and enter the following NRQL query:
FROM CloudCost SELECT * SINCE 24 hours agoField name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Line Item Usage Account Id | stringKey | The account ID corresponding to this line item. |
Line Item Product Code | stringKey | Product code of the line item (ec2, s3) |
Bill Billing Entity | stringKey | Bill invoiced to entity. (AWS Marketplace / AWS) |
Resource tags User Owning Team | stringKey | Custom tag provided which can be added to any entity |
Resource tags user Service Name | stringKey | Custom tag provided which can be added to any entity |

Bill bill type | stringKey | Bill type - anniversary (monthly), purchase (upfront), refund etc. |
Line item line item type | stringKey | What kind of charge is applied to the cost (discount, regular, one-time..etc) |
Line item usage start date | stringKey | Start usage date of the current line item |
Line item unblended cost | numericKey | Cost based on standard rates (on-demand) before any discount from reserved instances, savings plans or volume discounts. |

In New Relic, navigate to All Capabilities > CloudCost Intelligence. Open the bottom Query Console drawer and enter the following NRQL query:
FROM KubernetesCost SELECT * SINCE 1 week agoTo calculate accurate Kubernetes costs, multiply the cpu_weightage + memory_weightage parameters in your cost queries. The following example shows the correct query format:
SELECT SUM(net_unblended_cost * (cpu_weightage + memory_weightage)) FROM KubernetesCost SINCE '2025-09-01' UNTIL '2025-09-10'This query multiplies the net_unblended_cost by the sum of CPU and memory weightage to provide accurate cost allocations based on resource usage.
