 * `apply_immediately` - (Optional) Specifies whether any database modifications
      are applied immediately, or during the next maintenance window. Default is`false`.
 * `storage_encrypted` - (Optional) Specifies whether the DB cluster instance is encrypted. The default is `false` if not specified.
+* `monitoring_role_arn` - (Optional) The ARN for the IAM role that permits RDS to send
+enhanced monitoring metrics to CloudWatch Logs. You can find more information on the [AWS Documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_Monitoring.html)
+what IAM permissions are needed to allow Enhanced Monitoring for RDS Instances.
+* `monitoring_interval` - (Optional) The interval, in seconds, between points when Enhanced Monitoring metrics are collected for the DB instance. To disable collecting Enhanced Monitoring metrics, specify 0. The default is 0. Valid Values: 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60.
 * `kms_key_id` - (Optional) The ARN for the KMS encryption key. When specifying `kms_key_id`, `storage_encrypted` needs to be set to true
 * `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the instance.
