Exporting Performance Insights metrics to CloudWatch
Performance Insights lets you export the preconfigured or custom metrics dashboard for your DB instance to Amazon CloudWatch. You can export the metrics dashboard as a new dashboard or add it to an existing CloudWatch dashboard. When you choose to add the dashboard to an existing CloudWatch dashboard, you can create a header label so that the metrics appear in a separate section in the CloudWatch dashboard.
You can view the exported metrics dashboard in the CloudWatch console. If you add new metrics to a Performance Insights metrics dashboard after you export it, you must export this dashboard again to view the new metrics in the CloudWatch console.
You can also select a metric widget in the Performance Insights dashboard and view the metrics data in the CloudWatch console.
For more information about viewing the metrics in the CloudWatch console, see Viewing DB cluster metrics in the CloudWatch console and AWS CLI.
