Amazon Relational Database Service

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a collection of managed services that makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale databases in the cloud.

Amazon Relational Database Service publishes both logs and metrics to CloudWatch. Using Honeycomb’s AWS integrations, you can send that data to Honeycomb.

How it works

AWS CloudWatch provides Subscription Filters, which can be configured to forward all logs in a log group to a Kinesis Firehose destination. Kinesis Firehose then streams those logs to Honeycomb. AWS CloudWatch logs for this service are unstructured by default. This service uses an additional step in the workflow that uses Lambda to structure that log data before sending it to Honeycomb.

AWS CloudWatch provides Metric Streams, which forward all metrics captured to third-party destinations. Metrics are streamed to Honeycomb using AWS Kinesis Data Firehose.


This service sends logs to CloudWatch and then forwards them to Kinesis Firehose, where they are structured before being sent to Honeycomb. It also sends metrics to CloudWatch and also forwards them to Honeycomb via AWS Kinesis.
