Monitoring Amazon Aurora databases with CloudWatch Database Insights

Focus mode
Monitoring Amazon Aurora databases with CloudWatch Database Insights - Amazon Aurora

Monitor the database load (DB Load) for your fleet of Amazon Aurora DB instances with Database Insights. DB Load measures the level of session activity in your database. You can use Database Insights to analyze and troubleshoot the performance of your Amazon Aurora databases at scale.

With Database Insights, you can visualize the DB Load on your fleet of databases and filter the load by waits, SQL statements, hosts, or users.

By default, RDS enables the Standard mode of Database Insights for your Amazon Aurora databases. When you turn on the Advanced mode of Database Insights for a DB cluster, RDS enables Database Insights for every DB instance in the cluster.

For information about using Database Insights in the Amazon CloudWatch console, see CloudWatch Database Insights in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
