PerformanceInsightsMetricDimensionGroup
A logical grouping of Performance Insights metrics for a related subject area. For example, the
db.sql dimension group consists of the following dimensions:
db.sql.id, db.sql.db_id, db.sql.statement,
and db.sql.tokenized_id.
Note
Each response element returns a maximum of 500 bytes. For larger elements, such as SQL statements, only the first 500 bytes are returned.
Amazon RDS Performance Insights enables you to monitor and explore different dimensions of database load based on data captured from a running DB instance. DB load is measured as average active sessions. Performance Insights provides the data to API consumers as a two-dimensional time-series dataset. The time dimension provides DB load data for each time point in the queried time range. Each time point decomposes overall load in relation to the requested dimensions, measured at that time point. Examples include SQL, Wait event, User, and Host.
