Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze all your data using your existing business intelligence tools. 

Cisco Cloud Observability supports monitoring the following Amazon Redshift entities:

  • Node: A computing resource. Amazon Redshift offers different node types to accommodate your workloads.
  • Cluster: A group of nodes. Each cluster runs an Amazon Redshift engine and contains one or more databases.

You must configure cloud connections to monitor this entity. See Set up Cisco AppDynamics Cloud Collectors to Monitor AWS.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays AWS entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Metrics and Key Performance Indicators 

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for Amazon Redshift. See Monitoring Amazon Redshift using CloudWatch metrics.

Display NameSource MetricDescription
CPU Utilization (%)CPUUtilizationThe percentage of CPU utilization. For clusters, this metric represents an aggregation of all nodes (leader and compute) CPU utilization values.
Commit Queue Length (Count)CommitQueueLengthThe number of transactions waiting to commit at a given point in time.
Concurrency Scaling Active Clusters (Count)ConcurrencyScalingActiveClustersThe number of concurrency scaling clusters that are actively processing queries at any given time.
Concurrency Scaling SecondsConcurrencyScalingSecondsThe number of seconds used by concurrency scaling clusters that have active query processing activity.
Max Configured Concurrency Scaling Clusters (Count)MaxConfiguredConcurrencyScalingClustersMaximum number of concurrency scaling clusters configured from the parameter group. 
Database Connections (Count)DatabaseConnectionsThe number of database connections to a cluster.
Health Status (0/1)HealthStatusIndicates the health of the cluster. Every minute the cluster connects to its database and performs a simple query. If it is able to perform this operation successfully, the cluster is considered healthy. Otherwise, the cluster is unhealthy. An unhealthy status can occur when the cluster database is under extremely heavy load or if there is a configuration problem with a database on the cluster.
Network Throughput (By/s)NetworkReceiveThroughputThe rate at which the node or cluster receives data.
NetworkTransmitThroughputThe rate at which the node or cluster writes data.
Percentage Disk Space UsedPercentageDiskSpaceUsedThe percent of disk space used.
Queries Completed Per SecondQueriesCompletedPerSecondThe average number of queries completed per second. Reported in 5-minute intervals. This metric isn't supported on single-node clusters.
Query Duration (us) Queue DepthQueryDurationThe average amount of time to complete a query. Reported in 5-minute intervals. This metric isn't supported on single-node clusters.
Num Exceeded Schema Quotas Queue Depth (Count)NumExceededSchemaQuotasThe number of schemas with exceeded quotas.
Redshift Managed Storage Total Capacity (MBy)RedshiftManagedStorageTotalCapacityTotal managed storage capacity.
Total Table CountTotalTableCountThe number of user tables open at a particular point in time. This total doesn't include Amazon Redshift Spectrum tables.
Latency (s)ReadLatencyThe average amount of time taken for disk read I/O operations.
WriteLatencyThe average amount of time taken for disk write I/O operations.
Throughput (By)ReadThroughputThe average number of bytes read from disk per second.
WriteThroughputThe average number of bytes written to disk per second.
IOPs (Count/s)ReadIOPSThe average number of disk read operations per second.
WriteIOPSThe average number of write operations per second.
