Hello All,

I installed the RED Method Dashboard recently. For a specific instance, I see the errors it shows on the graph. However when I look at the error log on mysql in RDS, it does not show any errors related to the specific instance. What am I missing?

Thank you!

Hi @Venkat,

The chart is based on SUM\_ERRORS values that are taken from performance\_schema.events\_statements\_summary\_by\_digest.

e.g.

RDS Error logs probably show instance errors, RED dashboards show errors for specific queries which would not be in those logs.

That brings up another question. What other way can we correlate to those errors. Like which queries were responsible for those errors which are on the Error graph? Maybe enable general log for short time and relate by the time?

Thanks.
