Viewing combined metrics with the Performance Insights dashboard
Amazon RDS provides a consolidated view of Performance Insights and CloudWatch metrics for your DB instance in the Performance Insights dashboard. You can use the preconfigured dashboard or create a custom dashboard. The preconfigured dashboard provides the most commonly used metrics to help diagnose performance issues for a database engine. Alternatively, you can create a custom dashboard with the metrics for a database engine that meet your analysis requirements. Then, use this dashboard for all the DB instances of that database engine type in your AWS account.
You can choose the monitoring view in the Monitoring tab or Performance Insights in the navigation pane.
Performance Insights must be turned on for your DB cluster to view the combined metrics in the Performance Insights dashboard. For more information about turning on Performance Insights, see Turning Performance Insights on and off for Aurora.
