Troubleshoot Amazon RDS for Oracle to Amazon Redshift DMS migrations with AWS DevOps Agent

Database Blog

This article explains how to use AWS DevOps Agent to automatically troubleshoot AWS DMS migrations from Oracle RDS to Amazon Redshift.

  • DevOps Agent autonomously investigates DMS issues 24/7 using correlated metrics, logs, and topology
  • Configure CloudWatch alarms for CDC source and target latency metrics
  • Set up EventBridge rules to trigger Lambda functions that invoke DevOps Agent webhooks
  • Agent correlates Oracle, DMS, and Redshift data to identify root causes in minutes
  • Scenario 1: High CDC source latency caused by bulk-load script overwhelming redo logs
  • Scenario 2: High CDC target latency caused by single-threaded apply configuration
  • Agent provides proactive recommendations for infrastructure optimization and observability improvements
  • Available in 6 AWS regions; requires 7+ days CloudWatch log retention
  • Billing based on agent operational time; supporting services incur standard AWS charges

DevOps Agent accelerates DMS troubleshooting by automating root cause analysis across infrastructure, configuration, and workload patterns without manual console navigation.
