I’m using a PostgreSQL managed database. (I assume this is applicable to all of the managed databases, MySQL and Redis, too.)

The Manage alert policies option on the Insights tab allows to create/edit alerts… but the metrics available in the dropdown to select a trigger condition are the metrics tracked for standard droplets:

• CPU
• memory utilization
• disk utilization
• 15 minute load average

not those for the managed databases:

• connections
• cache hit ratio
• index vs sequential scans
• throughput
• deadlock rate
• replication status/delay

It would be very useful to have alerts for the managed databases!
