Can Foglight monitor AWS RDS - sql metrics and did anyone configured it??

HI all,

 

I am looking for some insight on- whether Foglight can monitor AWS RDS databases for MSSQL and what metrics can be collected or monitored, and also what ports need to be opened? Does it require any sql login or authentication ?

  • Hello Varalaxmi,

     

    Please look at this solution. Attached to the solution is a document with the configuration steps so that Foglight will be able to collect metrics from the system.

    Let me know if that answers your question.

     

    Regards

    Nicola

    • Hi Nicola, we are currently monitoring the AWS EC2 isntances successfully with foglight. I am looking for help on AWS RDS which is a database as a service and we dont have access to infrastructure. So can Foglight monitor RDS MSSQL servers?
      • Foglight can monitor Oracle on RDS today; SQL Server on RDS is on the roadmap for a future release.
        • support for SQL Server on RDS was added with Foglight for SQL Server version 5.9.4.20
