Table: alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections

Alicloud Monitoring metrics provide data about the performance of your systems. The alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections table provides metric statistics at 5 minute intervals for the most recent 5 days.

Note: If the instance is not older than 5 minute then we will not get any metric statistics.

Examples

Basic info

Explore the connection metrics of database instances to gain insights into their performance and usage over time. This can help in identifying potential bottlenecks, planning capacity, and understanding the overall health of your databases.

select
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp,
  minimum,
  maximum,
  average
from
  alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections
order by
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp;

select
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp,
  minimum,
  maximum,
  average
from
  alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections
order by
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp;

Intervals where connection exceed 1000 average

Determine the intervals in which the average number of connections to your Alicloud RDS instances exceeds 1000. This can help identify potential performance issues or periods of heavy usage.

select
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp,
  round(minimum :: numeric, 2) as min_conn,
  round(maximum :: numeric, 2) as max_conn,
  round(average :: numeric, 2) as avg_conn
from
  alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections
where
  average > 1000
order by
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp;

select
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp,
  round(minimum, 2) as min_conn,
  round(maximum, 2) as max_conn,
  round(average, 2) as avg_conn
from
  alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections
where
  average > 1000
order by
  db_instance_id,
  timestamp;

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- alicloud

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_alicloud --config '<your_config>' alicloud_rds_instance_metric_connections
