AWS v2 RDS: Replica Lag

Included in All Checkmk editions
Source Code License Open Source
Supported Agents Aws_V2

This check monitors the time a read replica DB instance lags behind the source DB instance. For PostgreSQL databases, the check also monitors the lagging size of the replica lagging the most in terms of write-ahead log (WAL) data received (OldestReplicationSlotLag).

To make this check work you have to configure the related special agent Amazon Web Services (AWS) v2.

No default levels are set. Upper levels are configurable for the replica lag age and oldest replication slot lag size via the rule "AWS v2/RDS Replica lag".

Item

Name of the instance and region name (to avoid duplicate services in case of multi-region monitoring).

Discovery

Each instance is a piggyback host with the name . One service is created on this host if all required metrics (ReplicaLag) are given.
