# Viewing OS metrics using CloudWatch Logs


After you have enabled Enhanced Monitoring for your DB cluster, you can view the metrics for it using CloudWatch Logs, with each log stream representing a single DB instance or DB cluster being monitored. The log stream identifier is the resource identifier (`DbiResourceId`) for the DB instance or DB cluster.
