Exam AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 topic 1 question 96 discussion

A company needs to send customer call data from its on-premises PostgreSQL database to AWS to generate near real-time insights. The solution must capture and load updates from operational data stores that run in the PostgreSQL database. The data changes continuously.

A data engineer configures an AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) ongoing replication task. The task reads changes in near real time from the PostgreSQL source database transaction logs for each table. The task then sends the data to an Amazon Redshift cluster for processing.

The data engineer discovers latency issues during the change data capture (CDC) of the task. The data engineer thinks that the PostgreSQL source database is causing the high latency.

Which solution will confirm that the PostgreSQL database is the source of the high latency?

  • A. Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the DMS task. Examine the CDCIncomingChanges metric to identify delays in the CDC from the source database.
  • B. Verify that logical replication of the source database is configured in the postgresql.conf configuration file.
  • C. Enable Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the DMS endpoint of the source database. Check for error messages.
  • D. Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the DMS task. Examine the CDCLatencySource metric to identify delays in the CDC from the source database.

Selected Answer: D
CDCLatencySource Metric: This metric measures the latency between the source database and the DMS task. It shows how long it takes for changes to be read from the source database's transaction logs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Monitoring.html#CHAP_Monitoring.Metrics
