Risk Monitoring

Monitoring Metrics

RDS works with Cloud Eye to monitor instances in your account in real time, reporting alarms and sending notifications based on your settings. You can get details about running metrics and storage usage of your instances in real time.

For details about RDS for SQL Server metrics and how to create alarm rules, see Configuring Displayed Metrics.

Protection for Critical Operations

With critical operation protection enabled, to enhance the security of your data and configurations, the system requires your identity to be authenticated before critical operations like deleting an instance can be performed. For more information, see Critical Operation Protection.
