Database Monitors

Databases store vital information required to run the enterprise efficiently and hence plays an integral role in the performance of an organization. The infrastructure availability weighs heavily on the database performance and any minor outage or slowdown can adversely affect the business. Tracking or monitoring databases help database administrators to analyze the application and take appropriate actions before it affects the end-users. The administrators can view the metric graphs to validate the performance and availability of the resource. For example, the metrics collected are:

• CPU utilization
• Total storage capacity
• Used storage capacity
• Maximum connection limits
• System uptime
• Current active and inactive session
• Session utilization

Using database monitoring, administrators can get:

• Improved end-user performance.
• Increased response time and database availability.
• Troubleshooting issues before it affects the end-users.
