Ensure Enhanced Monitoring are Configured for RDS DB Instances and Clusters in AWS
This automation checks whether enhanced monitoring is enabled for your RDS DB instances. In Amazon RDS, Enhanced Monitoring enables a more rapid response to performance changes in underlying infrastructure. These performance changes could result in a lack of availability of the data. Enhanced Monitoring provides real-time metrics of the operating system that your RDS DB instance runs on. An agent is installed on the instance. The agent can obtain metrics more accurately than is possible from the hypervisor layer. Send results via Email.
