Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Aurora - Amazon Aurora

Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Aurora

The AWS/RDS namespace includes the following metrics that apply to database entities running on Amazon Aurora. Some metrics apply to either Aurora MySQL, Aurora PostgreSQL, or both. Furthermore, some metrics are specific to a DB cluster, primary DB instance, replica DB instance, or all DB instances.

For Aurora global database metrics, see Amazon CloudWatch metrics for write forwarding in Aurora MySQL and Amazon CloudWatch metrics for write forwarding in Aurora PostgreSQL. For Aurora parallel query metrics, see Monitoring parallel query for Aurora MySQL.

Cluster-level metrics for Amazon Aurora

The following table describes metrics that are specific to Aurora clusters.

Metric Description Applies to Units

AuroraGlobalDBDataTransferBytes

In an Aurora Global Database, the amount of redo log data transferred from the source AWS Region to a secondary AWS Region.

Note

This metric is available only in secondary AWS Region.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Bytes

AuroraGlobalDBProgressLag

In an Aurora Global Database, the measure of how far the secondary cluster is behind the primary cluster for both user transactions and system transactions.

Note

This metric is available only in secondary AWS Region.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Milliseconds

AuroraGlobalDBReplicatedWriteIO

In an Aurora Global Database, the number of write I/O operations replicated from the primary AWS Region to the cluster volume in a secondary AWS Region. The billing calculations for the secondary AWS Regions in a global database use VolumeWriteIOPs to account for writes performed within the cluster. The billing calculations for the primary AWS Region in a global database use VolumeWriteIOPs to account for the write activity within that cluster, and AuroraGlobalDBReplicatedWriteIO to account for cross-Region replication within the global database.

Note

This metric is available only in secondary AWS Region.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Count

AuroraGlobalDBReplicationLag

For an Aurora Global Database, the amount of lag when replicating updates from the primary AWS Region.

Note

This metric is available only in secondary AWS Region.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Milliseconds

AuroraGlobalDBRPOLag

In an Aurora Global Database, the recovery point objective (RPO) lag time. This metric measures how far the secondary cluster is behind the primary cluster for user transactions.

Note

This metric is available only in secondary AWS Region.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Milliseconds

AuroraVolumeBytesLeftTotal

The remaining available space for the cluster volume. As the cluster volume grows, this value decreases. If it reaches zero, the cluster reports an out-of-space error.

If you want to detect whether your Aurora MySQL cluster is approaching the size limit of 128 tebibytes (TiB), this value is simpler and more reliable to monitor than VolumeBytesUsed. AuroraVolumeBytesLeftTotal takes into account storage used for internal housekeeping and other allocations that don't affect your storage billing.

Aurora MySQL

Bytes

BacktrackChangeRecordsCreationRate

The number of backtrack change records created over 5 minutes for your DB cluster.

Aurora MySQL

Count per 5 minutes

BacktrackChangeRecordsStored

The number of backtrack change records used by your DB cluster.

Aurora MySQL

Count

BackupRetentionPeriodStorageUsed

The total amount of backup storage used to support the point-in-time restore feature within the Aurora DB cluster's backup retention window. This amount is included in the total reported by the TotalBackupStorageBilled metric. It is computed separately for each Aurora cluster. For instructions, see Understanding Amazon Aurora backup storage usage.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Bytes

ServerlessDatabaseCapacity

The current capacity of an Aurora Serverless DB cluster.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Count

SnapshotStorageUsed

The total amount of backup storage consumed by all Aurora snapshots for an Aurora DB cluster outside its backup retention window. This amount is included in the total reported by the TotalBackupStorageBilled metric. It is computed separately for each Aurora cluster. For instructions, see Understanding Amazon Aurora backup storage usage.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Bytes

TotalBackupStorageBilled

The total amount of backup storage in bytes for which you are billed for a given Aurora DB cluster. The metric includes the backup storage measured by the BackupRetentionPeriodStorageUsed and SnapshotStorageUsed metrics. This metric is computed separately for each Aurora cluster. For instructions, see Understanding Amazon Aurora backup storage usage.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Bytes

VolumeBytesUsed

The amount of storage used by your Aurora DB cluster.

This value affects the cost of the Aurora DB cluster (for pricing information, see the Amazon RDS pricing page).

This value doesn't reflect some internal storage allocations that don't affect storage billing. For Aurora MySQL you can anticipate out-of-space issues more accurately by testing whether AuroraVolumeBytesLeftTotal is approaching zero instead of comparing VolumeBytesUsed against the storage limit of 128 TiB.

For clusters that are clones, the value of this metric depends on the amount of data added or changed on the clone. The metric can also increase or decrease when the original cluster is deleted, or as new clones are added or deleted. For details, see Deleting a source cluster volume

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Bytes

VolumeReadIOPs

The number of billed read I/O operations from a cluster volume within a 5-minute interval.

Billed read operations are calculated at the cluster volume level, aggregated from all instances in the Aurora DB cluster, and then reported at 5-minute intervals. The value is calculated by taking the value of the Read operations metric over a 5-minute period. You can determine the amount of billed read operations per second by taking the value of the Billed read operations metric and dividing by 300 seconds. For example, if the Billed read operations returns 13,686, then the billed read operations per second is 45 (13,686 / 300 = 45.62).

You accrue billed read operations for queries that request database pages that aren't in the buffer cache and must be loaded from storage. You might see spikes in billed read operations as query results are read from storage and then loaded into the buffer cache.

Tip

If your Aurora MySQL cluster uses parallel query, you might see an increase in VolumeReadIOPS values. Parallel queries don't use the buffer pool. Thus, although the queries are fast, this optimized processing can result in an increase in read operations and associated charges.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Count per 5 minutes

VolumeWriteIOPs

The number of write disk I/O operations to the cluster volume, reported at 5-minute intervals. For a detailed description of how billed write operations are calculated, see VolumeReadIOPs.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Count per 5 minutes

Instance-level metrics for Amazon Aurora

The following instance-specific Amazon CloudWatch metrics apply to all Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL instances unless noted otherwise.

Metric Description Applies to Units

AbortedClients

The number of client connections that have not been closed properly.

Aurora MySQL

Count

ActiveTransactions

ACUUtilization

The value of the ServerlessDatabaseCapacity metric divided by the maximum ACU value of the DB cluster.

This metric is applicable only for Aurora Serverless v2.

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL

Percentage

AuroraBinlogReplicaLag

The amount of time that a binary log replica DB cluster running on Aurora MySQL lags behind the binary log replication source. A lag means that the source is generating records faster than the replica can apply them.

This metric reports different values depending on the engine version:

Aurora MySQL version 2

The Seconds_Behind_Master field of the MySQL SHOW SLAVE STATUS

Aurora MySQL version 3

SHOW REPLICA STATUS

You can use this metric to monitor errors and replica lag in a cluster that acts as a binary log replica. The metric value indicates the following:

A high value

The replica is lagging the replication source.

0 or a value close to 0

The replica process is active and current.

-1

Aurora can't determine the lag, which can happen during replica setup or when the replica is in an error state.

Because binary log replication only occurs on the writer instance of the cluster, we recommend using the version of this metric associated with the WRITER role.

For more information about administering replication, see Replicating Amazon Aurora MySQL DB clusters across AWS Regions. For more information about troubleshooting, see Amazon Aurora MySQL replication issues.
