Monitoring and Managing RDS Instances

We cover what to monitor and watch on your RDS instance.
It's similar to EC2 servers - You need to watch your CPU credits, disk I/O usage (especially burst balance, since RDS instances use GP2 disks - explained in the video).
We also check out Queue depth, and others. This includes using CloudWatch to check for graphs that aren't in the RDS console.

I don't see Free Storage Space, only Freeable Memory when scrolling through the tabs. Any idea why it would not be showing?

I assume you figured this out a long time ago, but for anybody else with this issue, there are multiple pages. When you're in the monitoring tab, just click on the arrow to go to the next one

"GP3 is not available for RDS, right now "😅
