beats AWS rds metricset
Stack
The rds metricset of aws module allows you to monitor your AWS RDS service. rds metricset fetches a set of metrics from Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora DB. with Amazon RDS, users can monitor network throughput, I/O for read, write, and/or metadata operations, client connections, and burst credit balances for their DB instances. Amazon RDS sends metrics and dimensions to Amazon CloudWatch every minute. Amazon Aurora provides a variety of Amazon CloudWatch metrics that users can use to monitor health and performance of their Aurora DB cluster. This metricset by default collects all tags from AWS RDS.
Some specific AWS permissions are required for IAM user to collect AWS RDS metrics.
