You can monitor your Database Instance activity to be able to quickly identify and act on irregular activities that might be causing the instability/unavailability.

Monitor usage metrics on Cockpit to:

• Check if the usage is regular. Database Instance can be impacted by high data loads or unexpected high traffic from an app or website, for example
• Check if there are slow queries in the Database Instance log. Huge or sub-optimized queries can fill up all the memory and trigger OOM kills
• Check the Database Instance logs for any unusual or suspicious activity
