ApsaraDB RDS:View the details of a disaster recovery instance group

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

The instance group details page gives you a consolidated view of your disaster recovery setup. It shows basic group metadata, a topology graph of replication links between the primary and disaster recovery instances, a configuration list of all RDS and Data Transmission Service (DTS) instances, and replication performance metrics.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • A disaster recovery instance created

Open the instance group details page

  1. Go to the Global Distributed Cache page.

  2. In the instance group list, click the ID of the instance group you want to view.

The details page opens with sections for basic information, topology, configuration list, and replication performance.

View basic information

The Basic information section shows the following fields for the instance group:

FieldDescription
Instance Group IDUnique identifier for the instance group
NameDisplay name of the instance group
TypeGroup type
Database TypeDatabase engine type
Creation TimeTime the instance group was created
Running StatusCurrent operational status of the instance group
RegionRegion where the instance group is deployed
image

View the topology

The topology graph visualizes the replication links between the primary instance and disaster recovery instances. For each link, the graph displays the link status, instance status, and basic instance information.

Click an instance ID in the topology to open the RDS instance details page for that instance.

View the configuration list

The configuration list has two tabs: RDS Instance List and DTS Instance List.

RDS instance list

The RDS Instance List shows all instances in the group and their properties:

ColumnDescription
Running StatusCurrent operational status of the instance
Region/ZoneRegion and zone where the instance is deployed
RoleRole of the instance (primary or disaster recovery)
Creation TimeTime the instance was created

You can view and manage the instances of each role in this list.

DTS instance list

The DTS Instance List shows the data synchronization links from the primary instance to each disaster recovery instance, along with each link's Region, Running Status, and Creation Time.

When you promote a disaster recovery instance to primary, the DTS synchronization link attached to that instance is automatically released. No manual action is required.

View replication performance

Specify a time range to view the following metrics:

MetricDescription
dag_lag_secondsReplication latency (seconds)
dag_unhealthy_db_countNumber of unhealthy databases in replication
dag_log_send_queue_size_kbSize of the log sending queue (KB)
dag_log_send_rate_kb_per_secRate at which logs are sent to the disaster recovery instance (KB/s)
dag_log_redo_queue_size_kbSize of the log application queue (KB)
dag_log_redo_rate_kb_per_secRate at which logs are applied on the disaster recovery instance (KB/s)
