An RDS instance is considered non-compliant if its average connection usage is at or above a specified value for at least 8 hours within a time range. By default, the detection period is the last 7 days. This rule does not apply to an RDS instance that is not connected to Cloud Monitor or has no monitoring data. The rule also excludes RDS instances of the Cluster Edition, Serverless Edition, or types other than MySQL. The check uses the Cloud Monitor API for monitoring data and consumes the free quota of the basic Cloud Monitor service. To ensure detection quality, you can enable Hybrid Cloud Monitoring. For more information about billing for Hybrid Cloud Monitoring, see Cloud Monitor billing.
