This werk fixes some issues with the monitoring of AWS RDS DBs:

  • The checks aws_rds.network_io and aws_rds.disk_io now yield correct rates.
  • The services produced by the checks aws_rds.transaction_logs_usage, aws_rds.replication_slot_usage and aws_rds.agent_jobs are now discoverable, which wasn't the case before due to a bug in the AWS special agent.
  • For PostgreSQL databases, the check aws_rds.replica_lag now additionally reports the Cloudwatch metric OldestReplicationSlotLag, which wasn't the case before due to a bug in the AWS special agent.
  • The rule "AWS/RDS Replica lag" for the check aws_rds.replica_lag has been adjusted to allow for setting levels smaller than one second on the replication lag.

This werk is incompatible. Depending on the used configuration, users should delete and re-create the rules "AWS/RDS Replica lag".
