Here are a few important benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simplicity of use:<\/strong> It is <a href=\"https:\/\/help.sumologic.com\/Send-Data\/Applications-and-Other-Data-Sources\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics\/01-Collect-Amazon-RDS-Metrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">easy to install and use<\/a>; you just need to configure a hosted collector and an Amazon CloudWatch Source for Metrics to start gathering data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visual analysis:<\/strong> Get a rich, visual summary of the database instances with <a href=\"https:\/\/help.sumologic.com\/Send-Data\/Applications-and-Other-Data-Sources\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics-App-Dashboards#Dashboards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboards<\/a> that show data using pre-configured searches. It\u2019s also possible to filter data on the basis of a specific database instance, a database class, or an engine name to narrow down the dataset. The dashboard panels display information in the form of a line chart using data over the past few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flexibility: <\/strong>The app has the flexibility to create specific queries based on what you need to monitor rather than just using off-the-shelf metrics. <a href=\"https:\/\/help.sumologic.com\/Metrics\/Working-with-Metrics\/03-Create-a-Metrics-Visualization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creating a custom metrics query and visualization<\/a>, and adding it as a new dashboard panel, is simple and straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real-time and historical data availability:<\/strong> Stay ahead of the curve and respond to issues faster with a default update time of just one minute. It\u2019s also easier to identify patterns and take appropriate action using the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.sumologic.com\/Send-Data\/Applications-and-Other-Data-Sources\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics-App-Dashboards#Dashboards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">graphs<\/a> on the dashboard panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.sumologic.com\/Send-Data\/Applications-and-Other-Data-Sources\/Amazon-RDS-Metrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full documentation on Amazon RDS Metrics<\/a>, and start optimizing your install today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3325,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"show_custom_date":false,"custom_date":"","featured":false,"featured_image":0,"learn_more_label":"","image_alt_text":"","learn_more_type":"","show_popup":false,"learn_more_link_file":0,"event_date":false,"event_start_date":"","event_end_date":"","place_holder_image_url":"","post_reading_time":"2","notification_enabled":false,"notification_text":"","notification_logo":"","notification_expiration_time":0,"is_enable_transparent_header":false,"selected_taxonomy_terms":{"integration-cloud-provider":[99],"integration-use-case":[71,73]},"selected_primary_terms":{"integration-cloud-provider":[],"integration-use-case":[]},"learn_more_link":[],"featured_page_list":[],"notification_enabled_post_list":[],"_gspb_post_css":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"11371,11363,11266","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"integration-cloud-provider":[99],"integration-use-case":[71,73],"class_list":["post-3324","integration","type-integration","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","integration-cloud-provider-amazon-web-services","integration-use-case-security","integration-use-case-operations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration\/3324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/integration"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration\/3324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23720,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration\/3324\/revisions\/23720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"integration-cloud-provider","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration-cloud-provider?post=3324"},{"taxonomy":"integration-use-case","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/integration-use-case?post=3324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
