This topic describes how to set the monitoring frequency of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance.

Background information

ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL provides the following three monitoring frequencies:

  • Every 5 Seconds
    Note If the RDS instance runs the RDS Basic Edition or its memory capacity is less than 8 GB, the Every 5 Seconds monitoring frequency is not supported.
  • Every 60 Seconds
  • Every 300 Seconds
Note ApsaraDB RDS allows you to query the monitoring data from the last 30 days or less. You may not be able to query the monitoring data over a time range of more than 30 days.

Billing

The monitoring frequencies that are supported with fees required are charged at an hourly rate based on the pay-as-you-go billing method. For example, if your RDS instance uses the Every 5 Seconds monitoring frequency, you are charged an hourly rate of USD 0.012.

Procedure

  1. Visit the RDS instance list, select a region above, and click the target instance ID.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Monitoring and Alerts.
    Note The available metrics vary based on the specified database engine. For more information, see View the resource and engine metrics of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance.
  3. Click the Monitoring tab.
  4. Click Set Monitoring Frequency.
  5. In the Set Monitoring Frequency dialog box, select a monitoring frequency and click OK.
