In this chapter, we went through step-by-step PostgreSQL RDS database monitoring through New Relic, which is a popular DevOps tool. We learned how to register the Amazon RDS monitoring integration of New Relic. Going ahead, we learned how to prepare the IAM role for New Relic to collect PostgreSQL metrics. We also investigated the RDS dashboard of New Relic. Finally, we understood the metric data for PostgreSQL and learned how to read the RDS inventory data.
This chapter focused on PostgreSQL monitoring for high-performance teams. In the next chapter, we will move on to PostgreSQL database performance monitoring with PGBench and Apache JMeter.Â
