Hello - wanted to ask if anyone happens to know the best approach (recommended by Cisco) for monitoring an AWS RDS SQL Server instance with the AppDynamics controller type being SaaS/Cloud hosted. The documentation for AppDynamics isn't quite clear and is it correct to assume that the best approach is to provision an EC2 instance (or AWS workspace) in my AWS environment with the appropriate VPC / RDS security group settings and install an agent? The EC2 instance or AWS workspace would connect to the RDS instance. If anyone has a step-by-step guide that they can share that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello @Michael.Mom,
In addition to @MARTINA.MELIANA, if you would like to monitor the AWS RDS SQL Server instance hardware metrics you can install the machine agent on that server and you will be able to monitor hardware metrics.
You may visit the below pages for more understanding.

Hello @Michael.Mom ,
Thanks for posting to the AppDynamics Community.
Your Question:
is it correct to assume that the best approach is to provision an EC2 instance (or AWS workspace) in my AWS environment with the appropriate VPC / RDS security group settings and install an agent?
Brief Answer:
not necessarily. We can avoid provisioning a new EC2 instance solely for this purpose.
Hope this helps.
