RDS Performance Insights provides fine grained access control

This article summarizes updates to Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) Performance Insights, which provides fine-grained access control for collected performance data.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Customers can now create or update IAM policies to enforce fine-grained access to Performance Insights data through console or APIs
• Access control policies can be defined for specific dimensions of the database load metric, such as SQL statistics or SQL text
• This allows restricting access to sensitive dimensions like SQL text, while providing access to non-sensitive dimensions
• Previously, access control policies could only be defined at the level of actions and resources
• Performance Insights is a performance tuning and monitoring feature for RDS databases
