The observability updates for Amazon Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL can be accessed via Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights. The new updates allow enterprises to observe databases without having to spend time building telemetry, dashboards, or setting up alarms.
“With no further setup, you can monitor the health of all of your Amazon Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL instances in the selected region,” the company said in a statement.
However, this service is not free and there is a per-hour, per-database instance charge based on the average number of vCPUs being used (for provisioned instances) or Aurora Capacity Units (for Serverless v2 databases) monitored, with separate charges for ingestion and storage of database logs.
