Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to metrics from AWS RDS, which is a scalable, managed relational database service.
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 in the Metric details section of the Settings page.
The following table shows the RDS metrics ingested by Cloud Observability.
| Metric Name | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| aws.rds.bin_log_disk_usage | bytes | The disk space used by the binary logs on the master. |
