What dashboards are available with the AWS Hosts agents?

The installation of the AWS Hosts Cartridge includes the AWS Hosts Dashboards. The AWS Hosts Cartridge offers these main dashboards:

• EC2 Hosts
• EC2 Overview
• RDS Hosts
• RDS Host Overview
• RDS CPU/Memory (if enhanced monitoring is enabled)
• RDS Processes (if enhanced monitoring is enabled)
• RDS Network (if enhanced monitoring is enabled)
• RDS Disk (if enhanced monitoring is enabled)

ECS2 Hosts

The EC2 Hosts dashboard shows all monitored EC2 hosts grouped by OS type. Displayed for each Host are instance identity and location properties, current status and health, CPU utilization, network configuration, and associated tags and security groups. Clicking on the instance name will drill down to the EC2 Overview page for the selected instance, while clicking or hovering on many other column values will expose more data

EC2 Host Overview

The EC2 Overview page gives an overview of key segments for the EC2 Host. Information includes configuration properties, availability and status checks, CPU utilization and credit balances, and network and disk metrics. The page's right side features an expandable summary box that displays the Top 10 Alarms by severity currently active for this instance

RDS Hosts

The RDS Hosts dashboard shows all monitored RDS hosts grouped by database type. Displayed for each Host are instance identity and location properties, database engine and version, current status and health, system utilization, network configuration, and Aurora cluster, if applicable. Clicking on the instance name will drill down to the RDS Host Overview page for the selected instance, while clicking or hovering on many other column values will expose more data.

RDS Host Overview

The RDS Host Overview page gives an overview of key segments for the RDS Host. Information includes configuration properties, availability and status checks, CPU utilization and credit balances, memory, network, and disk metrics. The page's right side features an expandable summary box that displays the Top 10 Alarms by severity currently active for this instance. Available data on this page will vary depending on database type and whether enhanced monitoring is enabled for the instance.

RDS CPU/Memory

The CPU/Memory page features two sections. The top section features CPU utilization and a usage breakdown of CPU activity, current usage, and balance of CPU credits and surplus credits. The bottom section displays memory-related metrics, including freeable memory – the amount of memory that can be made available to processes that require it and a usage breakdown of memory consumption by type. Swap memory operations and huge page distribution are shown below that. This page is only available if enhanced monitoring has been enabled for the instance. Additionally, data on this page may vary depending on the database type.

RDS Processes

The Processes page displays a stacked bar chart of task counts organized by state and samples of processes running on the instance. Process data includes identifying information and related CPU, memory, thread usage, and allocations. The Process Samples dashboard shows all samples present in the page's time range. Samples older than a particular time may be purged or combined depending on the configured retention policy. This page is only available if enhanced monitoring is enabled for the instance. Additionally, data on this page may vary depending on the database type.

RDS Network

The Network page shows the number of DB connections to the instance over time, network throughput, and a table of network interfaces related to the database instance. Each row shows the network traffic received and transmitted rate over that interface. This page is only available if enhanced monitoring is enabled for the instance. Additionally, data on this page may vary depending on the database type.

RDS Disks

The Disks page displays a summary of the disk configuration, storage usage, queue depth, operations, several other metrics, and all associated disk devices. Associated disk devices include I/O and physical devices and their associated performance, timing, and read/write operations data. Below are filesystems, including name, mount point, and size and space usage by data, percentage, and file count. This page is only available if enhanced monitoring is enabled for the instance. Additionally, data on this page may vary depending on the database type.
