What is database monitoring?
Briefly

Database monitoring is a key component of application performance monitoring (APM), tailored for various types of databases. It provides IT teams with the insights needed to ensure databases are high-performing, stable, and secure. Given the reliance of modern businesses on database systems, any failures can have widespread repercussions. Effective monitoring includes tracking critical metrics, analyzing queries, and consolidating data for proactive issue resolution. This capability enables maximized availability, optimized query efficiency, and ensures resource allocation aligns with real-time demands, ultimately safeguarding business operations.
Effective database activity monitoring, like other APM services, tracks critical metrics, analyzes key events, and processes essential logs and traces.
As the backbone of business operations, databases must be fast, reliable, and secure-regardless of where or how they are hosted.
