How can i see RDS database on my dashboard ?

[artandor]

Following the symfony doc, creating a database is not done through the serverless file, but manually. I guess that is why the DB is not shown on the dashboard. Is there a way to display it ? Or reproduce my configuration in the serverless.yaml to deploy it through here ?

Hi! Yes, the Dashboard will list databases that are deployed in the same CloudFormation stack. In your case, that means deployed via serverless.yml.

If you deployed your DB with CloudFormation (in another separate stack), you can find that stack in the "application selector" and switch to it (even though it doesn't contains Lambda functions).

If you deployed your DB without CloudFormation then unfortunately there isn't a way to show it in the Dashboard. One convoluted way could be to:

• create an empty CloudFormation stack
• import the existing database in the CloudFormation stack (I think this is possible, I never did it)
• now that stack should show up in the Dashboard

Or a more extreme solution is to re-create the DB with CloudFormation.

Hope that helps!

Hey, just wanted to post an update here: I have deployed a changed to databases. Now, when your database is deployed separately from your application, it will show in the "Databases" page (if your application has no database).
