Creating an SQL Insights Task

Scenarios

SQL Insights allows you to not only query all executed SQL statements, but also analyze and search for the tables that are accessed and updated most frequently, and the SQL statements that have the longest lock wait, helping you quickly identify exceptions.

Constraints

• You need to enable Collect All SQL Statements before using SQL Insights.
• After Collect All SQL Statements is disabled, new SQL statements will not be collected anymore and the collected SQL data will be deleted.
• Some data cannot be recorded if a buffer overrun occurs.
• If the length of an SQL statement exceeds the value of rds_sql_tracer_max_record_size, the statement is not recorded by default.

  To configure the parameter value, see Modifying Parameters of a DB Instance.
