Dashboard

Available in VPC

The dashboard allows you to view the access control status of the DB & Server Access Control service at a glance. It visualizes key metrics, including active access control session trends, daily server connections and commands, and daily database connections and queries. For the viewing period, you can monitor commands and queries executed outside business hours, blocked server and database connections by user or target, bulk query occurrences, users with the most connections, and the most and least accessed targets. These analytics help you analyze resource usage patterns.

The Dashboard interface includes the following components:
