Analyze database performance with on-demand analysis by creating a performance analysis report for a period of time. View performance analysis reports to find performance issues, such as resource bottlenecks or changes in a query in your DB instance. The Performance Insights dashboard allows you to select a time period and create a performance analysis report. You can also add one or more tags to the report.

To use this feature, you must be using the paid tier retention period. For more information, see Pricing and data retention for Performance Insights

The report is available in the Performance analysis reports - new tab to select and view. The report contains the insights, related metrics, and recommendations to resolve the performance issue. The report is available to view for the duration of Performance Insights retention period.

The report is deleted if the start time of the report analysis period is outside of the retention period. You can also delete the report before the retention period ends.
