Instance list management

This topic explains how to view the status, CPU and memory usage of target instances, as well as detailed information about read-only nodes within instances on the instance list page.

Prerequisites

An instance for RDS for MySQL has been created. For detailed steps, refer to Creating an instance.

Procedure

Log on to the DBW console.

On the left navigation bar, click Instance list.

On the top menu bar, select the project and region.

On the Instance list page, filter by Database type as RDS for MySQL. You can also query the target instance by Instance ID Or Instance name in the upper-left corner of the Instance list page.

On the Instance list page, you can perform the following operations.

Actions	Description
View instance information	In this area, you can view the latest update time of the instance list, instance name/ID, state, primary node availability zone, instance specification, database version, owning project, tags, and information such as read-only node ID, node specification, and availability zone.
Enabling security control	DBW enables centralized management of database instances. Enabling security control allows database changes to go through a ticket approval process, simplifying and standardizing database management while improving data management workflows. For specific steps and considerations on enabling security control, refer to Enabling security control.
Enable automatic inspection	DBW provides a database inspection feature that performs regular automated health checks and risk assessments on database instances, helping you understand their operational status. For specific steps and considerations on enabling automatic instance inspection, refer to Database inspection management.
Enable slow log diagnosis	DBW provides a slow log diagnosis feature, which analyzes the Top 200 slow logs generated on the previous day and offers diagnostic results and optimization suggestions to help improve database performance and stability. For specific steps and considerations on enabling slow log diagnosis for instances, refer to Slow log diagnosis.
Enable session snapshot	DBW provides session snapshot and transaction and lock snapshot features. These features can collect session and transaction and lock related information of instances at certain frequencies. For specific steps and considerations on enabling session snapshot or transaction and lock snapshots, refer to Enable or disable session snapshot or enable or disable transaction and lock snapshots.
Log on to the data interaction platform	Click Log in to access the data interaction platform for RDS for MySQL. On the data interaction platform, i.e., the SQL window, you can execute various SQL statements and manage databases/table structures. For more information, refer to Logging on to the data interaction platform (RDS for MySQL).
Log in to the Operation observability page	Click Operation observability to log in and access features such as session statistics, slow log analysis, and auditing for the corresponding instance.
View instance details	Click Instance details to navigate to the instance information page of the target instance. For more information on the instance, refer to Viewing an instance.
Set inspection weight	Click Set inspection weight to assign weights to each deduction item for individual instance nodes. For specific steps and considerations on setting inspection weights, refer to Database inspection management.
