Enable this integration to see all your RDS Proxy metrics in Datadog. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} If you haven't already, set up the [Amazon Web Services integration first](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_web_services.md). Enabling the [Amazon RDS integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_rds.md) is also required. ### Metric collection{% #metric-collection %} 1. In the [AWS integration page](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-web-services), ensure that `RDS Proxy` is enabled under the `Metric Collection` tab. 1. Install the [Datadog - Amazon RDS Proxy integration](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-rds-proxy). ### Log collection{% #log-collection %} #### Enable logging{% #enable-logging %} When creating an RDS Proxy, logging can be enabled in the advanced configuration. Follow instructions in [Getting started with RDS Proxy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/rds-proxy-setup.html#rds-proxy-creating) to start sending your RDS Proxy logs to Cloudwatch. #### Send logs to Datadog{% #send-logs-to-datadog %} 1. If you haven't already, set up the [Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_web_services.md?tab=roledelegation#log-collection). 1. Once the Lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the CloudWatch log group that contains your RDS Proxy logs. Select the corresponding CloudWatch log group, add a filter name (optional), and add the trigger. Once done, go to the [Datadog Log Explorer](https://app.datadoghq.com/logs) to analyze your logs. ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **aws.rds.proxy.availability\_percentage**(gauge) | The percentage of time for which the target group was available in its role.*Shown as percent* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections**(gauge) | The current number of client connections.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_closed**(gauge) | The number of client connections closed.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_no\_tls**(gauge) | The current number of client connections without Transport Layer Security (TLS).*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_received**(gauge) | The number of client connection requests received.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_setup\_failed\_auth**(gauge) | The number of client connection attempts that failed.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_setup\_succeeded**(gauge) | The number of client connections successfully established.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.client\_connections\_tls**(gauge) | The current cumber of client connections with TLS.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connection\_requests**(gauge) | The number of requests to create a DB connection.*Shown as request* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connection\_requests\_with\_tls**(gauge) | The number of requests to create a DB connection with TLS.*Shown as request* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections**(gauge) | The current number of database connections.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_borrow\_latency**(gauge) | The time in microseconds that it takes for the proxy to get a DB connection.*Shown as microsecond* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_currently\_borrowed**(gauge) | The current number of database connections in the borrow state.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_currently\_in\_transaction**(gauge) | The current number of database connections in a transaction.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_currently\_session\_pinned**(gauge) | The current number of database connections currently pinned.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_setup\_failed**(gauge) | The number of database connection requests that failed.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_setup\_succeeded**(gauge) | The number of database connections successfully established.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.database\_connections\_with\_tls**(gauge) | The current number of database connections with TLS.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.max\_database\_connections\_allowed**(gauge) | The maximum number of database connections allowed.*Shown as connection* | | **aws.rds.proxy.query\_database\_response\_latency**(gauge) | The time in microseconds that the database took to respond to the query.*Shown as microsecond* | | **aws.rds.proxy.query\_requests**(gauge) | The number of queries received (a query including multiple statements is counted as one query).*Shown as request* | | **aws.rds.proxy.query\_requests\_no\_tls**(gauge) | The number of queries received from non-TLS connections.*Shown as request* | | **aws.rds.proxy.query\_requests\_tls**(gauge) | The number of queries received from TLS connections.*Shown as request* | | **aws.rds.proxy.query\_response\_latency**(gauge) | The time in microseconds between getting a query request and the proxy responding to it.*Shown as microsecond* | ### Events{% #events %} The Amazon RDS Proxy integration does not include any events. ### Service Checks{% #service-checks %} The Amazon RDS Proxy integration does not include any service checks. ## Troubleshooting{% #troubleshooting %} Need help?
