How to monitor the Utilization percentage of RDS metrics in aws account?

To place better alarms, I want to monitor the Utilization percentage of RDS metrics such as Free Memory, Free Storage, or Swap Usage rather than just the value in bytes. Any help , how to do the same for RDS instances in aws account ?

You can use CloudWatch to do this with CloudWatch Alarms.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/rds-metricscollected.html

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_Monitoring.html

Enhanced monitoring provides you the proper metrics to calculate percentages -

Additionally, I typically use DataDog for in-depth RDS monitoring.
