Defining rules

​

Here’s a step-by-step guide to implementing rules in your Amazon RDS MySQL database using Rapydo

‍

​

Identify Key Metrics and Scenarios

• Determine which metrics, queries, users, or hosts are most critical to your database’s performance and security.

​

Define and Configure Triggers: Set up triggers based on your identified metrics

• Alert when Query Duration exceeds 30 seconds
• Notify when CPU utilization surpasses 90%
• Trigger action when a specific user connects to the database

​

Specify Actions: For each trigger, define the appropriate action(s)

• Sending alerts to relevant personnel
• Applying rate limits to specific users or queries
• Initiating automatic scaling of resources ‍

​

Test and Refine

• Before deploying in production, thoroughly test your rules in a staging environment to ensure they function as expected

​

Monitor and Adjust

• Once implemented, continuously monitor the effectiveness of your rules and make adjustments as necessary to optimize performance and security.
