ApsaraDB RDS:Use autonomy center

Supported versions

The Autonomy Center is available for RDS MySQL instances running the following versions and editions:

How DAS detects and responds to anomalies

DAS continuously monitors core instance metrics. When it detects an anomaly, it analyzes sessions, SQL statements, and instance capacity to identify the root cause.

DAS then either provides an optimization recommendation or, if you have authorized it, takes action automatically with no manual intervention required.

Enable the autonomy service

Before you can view events, enable the autonomy service on your instance:

1. Go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your RDS instance resides, then find the instance and click its ID.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Autonomy Services > Diagnostics.

3. Click the Autonomy Center tab.

4. In the upper-right corner of the tab, click Autonomy Service Settings.

5. On the Autonomous Function Settings > Autonomous Function Management page, enable the autonomy service and click OK.

View performance events

After enabling the autonomy service, return to the Autonomy Center tab and select a time range to view events from that period.

The tab displays two views:

• Trend chart: Shows the event timeline alongside the trends for CPU Utilization, Active Sessions, and IOPS Usage during the selected period. Use the chart to correlate performance fluctuations with specific events.

• Event list: Lists the events that occurred within the selected period. Click Details to view the full record of a specific event.
