Pull Request Objective
This piece of work is being tracked in this GitHub Issue.
While investigating issue 3193 we could not look at the metrics in CloudWatch as the metrics were only available for a short period, I have since found that this information is available via the RDS console for 15 months. Unfortunately the RDS error logs are only retained for 3 days, which is the default. We could increase the rds.log_retention_period but thais could cause issues with spaces on the RDS instance and has a maximum of 7 days which would not have helped the previous investigation.
This piece of work is so we can store our PostgreSQL log records in Amazon CloudWatch Logs
