You are making a wrong assumption! This “MONyog looks to be a service you install locally” is wrong. MONyog will connect from any computer to MySQL on any other computer. Just like most other MySQL clients do.

Set up MONyog
* install it on an computer (Windows or Linux – for isntance the one you are sitting with right now).
* register the MySQL server on the RDS (use SSH tunnel and ensure that port 22 is open in the RDS)
* connect to MONyog from a Internet browser. MONyog exposes its information as a HTTP service.

The machine where MySQL runs, where MONyog runs and where the Browser opens may be 1,2 or 3 different machines. Please simply just try aand and do not make assumptions like ” .. looks to be .. ”

If you want to continue this discussion/have some problems/need help please discuss in our Forums ( http://www.webyog.com/forums/ ) and not here.

Still don’t follow – MONyog looks to be a service you install locally. How was it setup in the example? It simply says, “Setting up MONyog was as simple.”

MONyog was not installed on RDS. MONyog connects from a remote machine. It works for MySQL on RDS (but system counters – CPU, Memory etc – are not available as reading the information over SSH is not supported by Amazon RDS).

How did you install MONyog on an RDS instance? Seems fairly unlikely.

@Vivek:

You could try SQLyog for that. Once you have your Amazon RDS instance set up (and don’t forget security settings for MySQL, and firewall settings available through the AWS interface) just put in the details into the connection settings dialog in SQLyog (screen-shots’ are in the blog post), and you should be good to go!

The right-pane in SQLyog shows you all available databases on that instance, and creating/delete new databases is a breeze through SQLyog’s GUI!
