AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 23

A SysOps administrator is investigating issues on an Amazon RDS for MariaDB DB instance. The SysOps administrator wants to display the database load categorized by detailed wait events.
How can the SysOps administrator accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Create an Amazon CloudWatch dashboard.
• B. Enable Amazon RDS Performance Insights.
• C. Enable and configure Enhanced Monitoring.
• D. Review the database logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as enabling Amazon RDS Performance Insights provides detailed insights into database load and wait events. Options A and C offer monitoring capabilities but do not specifically categorize wait events as required. Option D involves reviewing logs, which is not as effective for real-time performance analysis compared to Performance Insights.
