HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) on AWS Outposts can now export database logs to HAQM CloudWatch. You can now monitor all of your HAQM RDS on AWS Outposts database instances from the same single pane of glass as your HAQM RDS database instances in our AWS Regions.
HAQM CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service built for DevOps engineers, developers, and IT managers. CloudWatch provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, traces, and events, providing you with a unified view of AWS resources, applications, and services that run on AWS and on-premises servers. You can use CloudWatch to help detect anomalous behavior in your environments, set alarms, visualize logs and metrics side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to keep your applications running smoothly.
In your monthly bill, HAQM RDS on AWS Outposts logs will incur the same charges as they do for RDS database logs in CloudWatch in an AWS region.
For more information, see the HAQM Cloudwatch Pricing page and our RDS out Outposts documentation. Get started exporting your HAQM RDS on AWS Outposts database logs by following this how-to.
