Monitor the CPU utilization of your database proxies to assess load and decide whether to scale the number or specifications of your proxies.
CPU utilization is the only metric available for database proxies in ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
The database proxy feature enabled. For more information, see Enable the database proxy feature.
View proxy monitoring data in the console
Go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your RDS instance resides, then click the instance ID.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Database Proxy.
In the Basic Information section, click View Monitoring Data.
In the panel that appears, specify a time range and review the CPU Utilization (%) section.
Query proxy performance data using the API
Use the DescribeDBProxyPerformance API operation to query the performance data of a database proxy programmatically. This is useful for automation or integration with external monitoring systems.
