The Performance Events tab in the ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL console lets you monitor exceptions, optimization events, and auto scaling events across their full lifecycle — from planned to in-progress to complete. Use it to investigate performance issues and review the operations and maintenance (O&M) actions applied to your instance.
Performance events have three states. Each state corresponds to a tab:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Events and Suggestions | Statistics and suggestions for events in a selected time range (up to 7 days) |
| Events in Plan/Execution | Events that are scheduled or currently running |
| Executed Events | Completed events with execution results, in a selected time range (up to 7 days) |
For any event, click Details in the Actions column to open the full event record, including the event name, level, type, time, and impact details.
