Enabling monitoring v1.3

On HM-managed database clusters

Since Hybrid Manager (HM)-managed database clusters are created in the same environment as HM, their resources are already accessible. Therefore, these clusters are monitored by default, and monitoring starts as soon as their deployment is finished.

On external database clusters

External database clusters are either managed by a cloud service provider (CSP) or by you. For this reason, additional steps are required to create a connection between your database cluster and your HM instance.

There are two types of external databases that you can monitor:

• Monitoring self-managed deployments

  To enable monitoring on self-managed deployments, you must install the agent and register external self-managed databases.

  Examples: self-managed Postgres databases you have on bare metal, or those hosted in the cloud that aren't managed by the CSP (like a Postgres database on an EC2 instance).

• Monitoring CSP-managed databases

  To enable monitoring on CSP-managed databases, connect the database to HM.

  Examples: Amazon RDS.
