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

To access:

Retail Home -> Application Navigator -> DB Ops Console -> AWR Reports
