Amazon Redshift announces a console refresh to improve management and monitoring of your data warehouse

Posted on: Nov 15, 2019

Amazon Redshift now offers a new console for Redshift users. The new user interface and new features simplify management and improve insights into the health and performance of your Redshift clusters and workloads .

The new monitoring dashboard in the new Redshift Console makes it easier for administrators to monitor all of their Redshift clusters from a single page by unifying all relevant information such as availability status, cluster and query performance, events, and alarms. This lets administrators quickly understand activity associated with their workloads.

The new console simplifies the management of Redshift clusters by streamlining user experiences and reducing the number of clicks for everyday operations. You can view your queries associated with workload management queues and correlate them with cluster performance. 

The new console reduces the time needed to understand and optimize query performance by allowing users to search for and explore queries, and then drill down to visualize query plans and execution statistics. It also gives users the ability to correlate execution time with cluster performance metrics and provides in-place optimization recommendations. 

The new Query Editor improves authoring of complex queries with a SQL editor that can manage queries and provide visual analysis of query results. It improves user productivity with features such as content assist, query formatting, and keyboard shortcuts. You can also view execution plans for executed queries. 

You can now easily explore partner solutions that integrate with Redshift directly from the Redshift console using the Marketplace widget.
