Pete,

The problem is probably with me in terms of expectations and trying to maintain
some sort of consistency.  I was expecting that whatever functionality EM
provides for a database instance it'd be available for a database instance
hosted on AWS RDS.  I'm thinking ahead to supporting this environment and
getting calls on performance issues and wanting to quicking jump to that env
and check Top Sessions.  Or earlier in the day a customer mentioned things were
slow so we get a request for AWR reports from a certain time period.  Obviously
I'm way off on that.

We may need to stick with Database Control locally on RDS but if AWS RDS takes
off at our site then this can be a bit of a pain to manage.

Regards,

Dave

I've not used the plugin at all, but this
blog<https://blogs.oracle.com/zerotocloud/entry/amazon_web_services_aws_plug>
would certainly indicate there's a lot more to it than what you're seeing.  It
might be worthwhile reviewing that and the further reading section at the
bottom.  If you have any questions after that reach back out to me and I'll see
if I can find some further contacts for you to follow up with.

Subject: EM12c AWS RDS plugin

Has anyone worked with the EM12c AWS RDS plugin and found any value in what it
provides?  I ask because we have 4 instances deployed on AWS RDS and through
the mentinoed plugin I can see these instances but as far as I can tell all
that's monitored is their status and Disk I/O.  We were hoping for a little
more umph as compared to what we normally get with targets in EM12c but if
that's all the plugin can provide and no one has found a way to add additional
metrics/features then we'll probably stick with database control on the RDS.

Thx.

Regards,

Dave
