AWS Aurora PostgreSQL

Use the "TrueWatch Cloud Sync" script packages in the script market to synchronize cloud monitoring and cloud asset data to TrueWatch

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

We recommend enabling TrueWatch Integrations - Extensions - Hosted Func: all prerequisites are installed automatically. Continue with script installation.

To deploy Func yourself, see Self-hosted Func.

Install Script¶

Note: Please prepare the required Amazon AK in advance (for simplicity, you can grant global read-only permissions ReadOnlyAccess)

Activate Script in DataFlux Func (Automata)¶

1. Log in to the TrueWatch console
2. Click the 【Integration】 menu and select 【Cloud Account Management】
3. Click 【Add Cloud Account】, select 【AWS】, and fill in the required information on the interface. If you have already configured the cloud account information before, ignore this step
4. Click 【Test】, and if the test is successful, click 【Save】. If the test fails, please check if the relevant configuration information is correct and test again
5. Click 【Cloud Account Management】, and you can see the added cloud account in the list. Click the corresponding cloud account to enter the details page
6. Click on the 【Integration】 button on the cloud account details page, find AWS Aurora PostgreSQL under the Not Installed list, click on the 【Install】 button, and install it in the pop-up installation interface.

Activate Script Manually¶

1. Log in to the Func console, click on 【Script Market】, enter the TrueWatch script market, and search for: integration_aws_rds

2. Click 【Install】, then enter the corresponding parameters: AWS AK ID, AK Secret, and account name.

3. Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, the system will automatically create the Startup script set and automatically configure the corresponding startup script.

4. After activation, you can see the corresponding automatic trigger configuration in 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」. Click 【Execute】 to execute it immediately without waiting for the scheduled time. After a while, you can view the execution task records and corresponding logs.

Verification¶

1. Under [Management / Automatic Trigger Configuration], confirm that an automatic trigger configuration exists for the task, and check the task records and logs for errors.
2. In TrueWatch, check if the asset information exists in 「Infrastructure - Resource Catalog」
3. In TrueWatch, check [Metrics] for the corresponding monitoring data.

Metrics¶

Configure Amazon CloudWatch to collect more metrics Amazon CloudWatch Metrics Details

Amazon CloudWatch Metrics for Amazon RDS¶

The AWS/RDS namespace includes the following metrics, which apply to database entities running on Amazon Aurora. Some metrics apply to Aurora MySQL and/or Aurora PostgreSQL. In addition, some metrics are specific to database clusters, primary database instances, replica database instances, or all database instances.

Cluster-level Metrics for Amazon Aurora¶

Instance-level Metrics for Amazon Aurora¶

Unless otherwise noted, the following instance-specific Amazon CloudWatch metrics apply to all Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL instances.

Objects¶

The data structure of the collected AWS Aurora PostgreSQL objects can be viewed in 「Infrastructure - Resource Catalog」

  "measurement": "aws_rds",
  "tags": {
    "name"                     : "xxxxx",

    "message"             : "{Instance JSON Data}",
  }
}

Note: Fields in tags and fields may change with subsequent updates

Tip 1: tags.name value is the instance ID, used as a unique identifier

Tip 2: fields.message, fields.Endpoint are JSON serialized strings
