RDS Monitoring using CloudWatch

0

Are there pre baked options or scripts for doing RDS monitoring using cloudwatch alerts or metrics? Looking for AWS recommended accelerators or documented options for RDS monitoring. Found something like https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-rds-cloudwatch-sns-alarms/blob/main/alarms.tf but was looking for something provided by AWS. I found something similar for EKS called terraform-aws-observability-accelerator.

Hi, you have a whole set of metrics sent by default by RDS to CloudWatch: see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/cw-metrics-overview.html

You can then add the alarms matching your use case on top: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/ConsoleAlarms.html

Hope it helps!

  • Hi Didier, I was actually looking for an accelerator with most recommended ones from AWS. Something to start off with which would cover common debugging scenarios when i need to look at metrics and alarms.
