Mackerel supports obtaining and monitoring Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) metrics in AWS Integration. When integrating with AWS Integration, billable targets are determined using the conversion 1 Instance = 1 Host (regardless of Multi-AZ option).
Please refer to the following page for AWS Integration configuration methods and a list of supported AWS services.

Obtaining metrics
The metrics obtainable with AWS Integration’s RDS support are as follows. For Metric explanations, refer to the AWS help page.

Precautions
Among the graphs/metrics obtainable with AWS Integration, metrics included in the following graphs are usually obtained in 5 minute intervals (only when using T2 instances).
- CPU Credit
- Volume IOPS
This is specified by the AWS CloudWatch API.
