Need to know if there are alert metrics in CloudWatch for RDS Performance insights.
ie. Trigger and Alarm, whenever there is => high load, waits in SQL Server?
You may need to read Overview of Monitoring Amazon RDS
Amazon RDS automatically sends metrics to CloudWatch every minute for
each active database. You are not charged additionally for Amazon RDS
metrics in CloudWatch.
You can watch a single Amazon RDS metric over a specific time period,
and perform one or more actions based on the value of the metric
relative to a threshold you set
You can create an alarm in RDS console and select the metric that is of your interest. Here is a snapshot to display that:
Amazon RDS Performance Insights recently released a feature that sends key performance metrics from Performance Insights to Amazon CloudWatch. Using this feature, you can set alerts on these metrics.
When Performance Insights is enabled, it automatically sends the following three metrics to CloudWatch:
DBLoad
DBLoadCPU
DBLoadNonCPU

I want to know whether there is a way to use MySQL queries to obtain the same data that Cloudwatch shows on its dashboard.

I am creating an app where the long running tasks are getting executed in ECS Fargate and logs are getting pushed to CloudWatch. Now, am looking for a way to give the users an ability in the UI to see those realtime live logs while their tasks are running.
I am thinking of the below approach..
Saving logs temporarily in DynamoDB
DynamoDB stream with batch will trigger a lambda.
Lambda will trigger an AWS Appsync mutation with None data source.
In UI client will subscribed to that mutation to get real time updates. (depends on the batch size, example 5 batch means 5 logs lines )

Is there any other techniques or methods that i can think of?
Why not use Cloudwatch default save in S3 bucket ability and add SNS to let clients choose which topic they want to trail the log. Removing extra DynamoDB.
I am developing an Audit Trail System, that will act as a central location for all the critical events happening around the organization. I am planning to use Amazon SQS as a temporary queue to hold the messages that in turn will trigger the AWS lambda function to write the messages into AWS S3 store. I want to segregate the data at tenantId level (some identifiable id) and persist the messages as batches in S3, that will reduce the no of calls from lambda to S3. Moreover, I want to trigger the lambda every hour. But, I have 2 issues here, one the max batch size provided by SQS is 10, also the lambda trigger polls the SQS service on regular basis, that's gonna increase the no of calls to my S3. I want to create a manual batch of 1000 messages(say) before calling the S3 batch api. I am not very much sure how to architecture my system, so that above requirements can be met. Help or idea provided is very much appreciable!

Thanks!
I would recommend that you instead use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. It basically does what you're wanting to do:
Accepts incoming messages
Buffers them for a period of time
Writes output to S3 or Elasticsearch
This is all done as a managed service, and can also integrate with AWS Lambda to provide custom processing (eg filter out certain records).
However, you might have to do something special to segregate the data at tenantId. See: Can I customize partitioning in Kinesis Firehose before delivering to S3?
AWS documentation states cloudwatch shares metrics every one minute, is it possible to get the metrics checked every 10 secs or less than a minute? If an instance goes down and I have to wait a full 1 minute to know that it is down? To spin up a new one in its place?
I presume that you are referring to Amazon EC2 metrics that are collected by Amazon CloudWatch.
No, you cannot configure these metrics to be collected more often. By default, Amazon EC2 metrics are collected every five minutes. You can activate detailed monitoring to obtain the metrics every one minute.
However, Elastic Load Balancing health checks can check the health of an instance more often, and it will only send traffic to instances that are responding correctly to health checks.
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can be configured to use Elastic Load Balancing health checks to determine the health of instances. If an instance is identified as unhealthy, Auto Scaling will automatically replace the instance. However, this can take several minutes to be identified and have a new instance operational. Thus, it is recommended to always be running a minimum of two instances.
How can programmatically monitor the bandwidth of an object in AWS S3 service? I would like to do this to prevent excessive bandwidth usage by clients who are using our services and costing us more than we can afford. We like to limit 1TB bandwidth for each object.
The detailed usage reports are just per bucket, not per object.
What you could do is enable logging and parse the logs once an hour or so. It's certainly not instant, but it would prevent people from going way over your usage limits.
Also, s3stat is a good option up to a point. Once you start doing more than ~ 50 million requests per month, they have trouble crunching the data.
