Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL monitoring metrics

WenG — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:50:59 GMT

May I know if Dynatrace support Aurora Postgresql V14 ?
Dynatrace has all Aurora Postgresql Available Metrics ?
My support team said Dynatrace only support on Aurora Postgresql V11 ? but we are running on V14.
Please advise how Dynatrace ingests metrics on Aurora Postgresql ?

PostgreSQL 9.4+

Collected metrics

Active connections	Number of active connections to all databases running under PostgreSQL
Buffer hit	Number of times disk blocks were found in buffer cache so that a read was not necessary (only includes hits in the PostgreSQL buffer cache, not the OS file system cache)
Cache hits ratio	Percentage of accesses that result in cache hits
Block reads	Number of disk blocks read in the database per second
Rows returned by index scans	Number of live rows fetched by index scans
Rows updated	Number of rows updated by queries in the database per second
Rows inserted	Number of rows inserted by queries in the database per second
Rows deleted	Number of rows deleted by queries in the database per second
Rows returned by sequential scans	Number of sequential scans fetched on the table per second
Index scans	Number of index scans initiated on the table per second
Commits	Number of transactions committed to the database per second
Rollbacks	Number of rolled-back transactions in the database per second

I cannot confirm v14 but running versions 11+ without problems, so...
do you want to ingest metrics? please clarify.

Yes, we would like to request some of aws.aurora metrics (ie. ext:cloud.aws.aurora.queries) to be ingest in Dynatrace. are we able to do it if we are runing aurora version V14 now ?

I guess so, I'm running 13.7 without problems. For sure v14 is supported, at least is documented.

I am now asking my Dynatrace support team to enable the metrics.

By any chance you can share Dynatrace on Aurora v14 document link ? Thanks
