Viewing logs, events, and streams in the Amazon RDS console
Amazon RDS integrates with AWS services to show information about logs, events, and database activity streams in the RDS console.
The Logs & events tab for your Aurora DB cluster shows the following information:
-
Auto scaling policies and activities – Shows policies and activities relating to the Aurora Auto Scaling feature. This information only appears in the Logs & events tab at the cluster level.
-
Amazon CloudWatch alarms – Shows any metric alarms that you have configured for the DB instance in your Aurora cluster. If you haven't configured alarms, you can create them in the RDS console.
-
Recent events – Shows a summary of events (environment changes) for your Aurora DB instance or cluster. For more information, see Viewing Amazon RDS events.
-
Logs – Shows database log files generated by a DB instance in your Aurora cluster. For more information, see Monitoring Amazon Aurora log files.
The Configuration tab displays information about database activity streams.
