Datadog Rolls Out Deep Database Monitoring
Because of insights into query performance and explain plans and the automatic correlation of query metrics with application and infrastructure metrics. Database Monitoring provides engineers and database administrators with the visibility they need to quickly identify and resolve application performance issues caused by slow-running database queries.
Database queries typically cause instances and application performance issues. When applications ask unnecessary inquiries or fail to use indices, the database as a whole is strained, decreasing performance for all applications that use it.
Because databases don’t maintain track of historical query performance measures, it isn’t easy to understand the context and notice trends. This is complicated because engineers must frequently review each database separately, resulting in more extended downtime and a poor user experience.

Datadog Database Monitoring
Database Monitoring allows you to keep track of the database’s general health and availability by allowing users to zero in on the exact queries that influence the application’s performance and user experience. Users may use DBM to view database query performance. And also, debug slow queries with precise execution breakdowns, and examine historical patterns in query latencies and overhead. It helps businesses increase the speed of the database and the upstream apps, APIs, and microservices that the database supports.
Without manually exporting and reconciling data from different, separate point solutions, engineers can immediately determine whether performance issues are related to the database or infrastructure.
DBM provides comprehensive database visibility, allowing businesses to:
- Drops in performance can be quickly identified and isolated. Users may monitor the performance of normalized queries throughout their entire database fleet. You can also get alerts for searches that take a long time or cost a lot of money and learn which types of questions are the most popular and where they run. They can drill down further for each query to the hosts running. Use the log and network data to understand host performance better.
- Determine what’s causing the decline in performance. Users can see the sequence of steps that make up a query with DBM’s rapid access to explain plans. They can then pinpoint bottlenecks and look for improving performance and resource efficiency.
- Improve database health and prevent incidents while saving money. Organizations can store historical query performance data for up to three months in DBM, allowing them to track changes over time and avoid regressions.
- Provide database performance telemetry to engineers without jeopardizing data security. DBM provides a centralized view of database performance data. Without requiring direct user access to database instances, which automatically couple to infrastructure and application metrics.
