While the Cloud Manager does not currently have monitoring for Managed Databases built in, this post from our Community Questions site titled How can I monitor the performance of a Managed Database cluster? has instructions for installing the netdata service on a separate instance.
This articled titled When to Scale Your Database has some useful tips on what to look for as indications of when to increase your DB resources.
Once it's time to scale up, you will want to create a backup of your database, deploy your new Managed DB cluster, then import your data to the new cluster.
