Amazon RDS Monitoring

Monitor RDS instance and database performance in real-time

Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS) is the database as a service (DBaaS) offering from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows customers to configure, operate, and scale a database in the cloud. AWS RDS is built on isolated database environments called DB instances which users can create and modify using the AWS Management Console or Amazon RDS API operation. Six different types of database engines are currently available via RDS, including: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL

Because the AppDynamics Database Monitoring solution employs a remote-based monitoring technique to collect performance metrics (i.e., no install or change on the database host), it can support all databases offered via RDS. These metrics include CPU utilization, read/write latency, and replication lag enable DBAs to ensure the availability and performance of DB instances, read replicas, and cluster endpoints.
