AWS RDS monitoring

[ivp2015]

Thanks, now same has been installed. Could you please let me know it is possible can we monitor particular RDS without providing access key and secret access key information in boto.cfg file.

[root@centos6 ~]# cat /etc/boto.cfg
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = THISISATESTKEY
aws_secret_access_key = thisisatestawssecretaccesskey

No, this is for your security, if you do not give the plugin access (via security key) it isn't allowed to see the data required.

Hi,

There should be some way to directly monitor RDS instances without accessing the AWS console via programmatic access(secret access key)
I have all the details fro RDS instance like connection string, master user name password.
Please share the steps to allow monitoring for particular RDS instance.

The only way to install without AWS console via programmatic access would be to install an agent
OR
allow access to the RDS instance from the Nagios XI server and run the MySQL wizards

Thanks for update. Could you please provide the steps for both.

I only provided one option other than using a plugin like you had downloaded (which would require the key).

And that option was to use the MySQL wizards in Nagios XI under the Configure tab
