Step 1: Use AWR Reports to Understand System Load
The Automated Workload Repository (AWR) report is your most powerful tool for understanding what the system was doing during a specific period. In the RDS DB Ops Console, you can:
- View automatically generated AWR reports (hourly snapshots)
- Filter and search for reports by date/time
- View full reports directly in the UI or download them for further analysis
