Amazon RDS monitoring integration

중요

Enable the AWS CloudWatch Metric Streams integration to monitor all CloudWatch metrics from your AWS services, including custom namespaces. Individual integrations are no longer our recommended option.

New Relic infrastructure integrations include an integration for reporting your Amazon Web Services RDS data to New Relic. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be reported.

New Relic also offers an integration for enhanced RDS monitoring.

Features

Amazon's Relational Database Service (RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks.

New Relic's RDS monitoring integration gathers metric and configuration data for the relational databases associated with your Amazon RDS account. Your RDS data is available in pre-built and you can also create custom queries and charts. You can create alert conditions for RDS data, and use the reported data to plan for future RDS capacity.

Activate integration

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to Connect AWS services to New Relic.

Configuration and polling

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.

Default polling information for the Amazon RDS integration:

New Relic polling interval: 5 minutes
Amazon CloudWatch data interval: 1 minute for RDS instances; 5 minutes for RDS clusters

Find and use data

To view the RDS dashboard:

Go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > AWS.
From the list of AWS services, scroll-down to RDS then click the RDS Dashboard link.

You can query and explore your data using the DatastoreSample event type, with a provider value of RdsDbInstance for DB instances, or RdsDbCluster for Aurora DB clusters.
