Database Performance Monitoring
Pre-built templates for MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle
What it does
AlertMonitor includes pre-built database monitoring templates that track the metrics DBAs and security teams both care about: slow queries pulling on performance, replication lag that threatens data consistency, connection pool exhaustion, deadlocks, and buffer pool health. No custom collector setup required — connect your database and monitoring starts immediately.
Database health = application health: Most application performance incidents trace back to database degradation: a long-running query locking rows, a replication replica falling behind, a connection pool at 95%. AlertMonitor surfaces these before they become user-impacting outages.
Capabilities
- MySQL: slow query log analysis, replication lag, InnoDB buffer pool hit rate, connection saturation
- MSSQL: wait stats, missing index recommendations, blocking queries, log file growth alerts
- PostgreSQL: vacuum health, sequential scan ratios, connection limits, replication slot lag
- Oracle: tablespace utilization, session counts, undo segment health, archive log space
- Cross-database deadlock detection with query attribution
- Alert thresholds pre-configured with sane defaults, fully adjustable per instance
How it works
Database metrics are collected via read-only monitoring credentials using native driver connections. AlertMonitor never requires DBA-level credentials — minimum necessary permissions are documented per database type. Collected metrics are stored in time-series format with configurable retention. Anomaly detection flags unusual query patterns alongside threshold-based alerting.
