AWS CloudWatch Database Insights Now Supports Self-Managed PostgreSQL

AWS has introduced support for self-managed PostgreSQL databases in Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights. This update allows you to monitor your self-managed PostgreSQL instances running on Amazon EC2, alongside Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora, providing a unified view of your database fleet in a single console.

Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights is a database observability solution that helps monitor database fleet health, diagnose issues, and resolve performance bottlenecks. With support for self-managed databases, you can use the Amazon CloudWatch agent to collect health and performance data from your self-managed PostgreSQL instances. Your database will appear in the Database Insights fleet view with live performance data, including database load, wait event analysis, query-level statistics, and host metrics.

What to do

• Monitor and troubleshoot your self-managed PostgreSQL instances using the same familiar Database Insights console and workflows you already use for your AWS-managed databases.
