AWS Aurora metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to all metrics for the AWS Aurora service, a fully managed relational database engine that’s compatible with MySQL and PostgresSQL.

You can create a pre-built dashboard for this integration when you add the integration to Cloud Observability or from the Dashboard list view.

To verify metrics are reporting, search for the metrics on the Metric details page in Settings.

The following table shows the Aurora metrics ingested by Cloud Observability.

Metric Name Metric Data Type Unit Description
aws.rds.aurora_binlog_replica_lag_count count writes The amount of time that a binary log replica DB cluster running on Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition lags behind the binary log replication source. A lag means that the source is generating records faster than the replica can apply them.
