Database teams have a full plate this month. AI is changing how some teams approach database work, application slowdowns keep landing on the wrong desk, SAP HANA migrations are picking up pace, and MongoDB still does not get the attention it deserves. September’s SolarWinds database webinar series tackles all of it, with five live sessions built for DBAs, SAP Basis teams, application owners, and the GSIs supporting them.
Each session runs live twice, once for North America and once for EMEA/APAC, so you can pick whichever time works for you. Can’t make it live? Register anyway and watch the on-demand recording.
Internals & Architecture of LLMs for Database Professionals by Kevin Kline – Sep 10 & 15
AI is moving quickly, and DBAs need practical context on what’s happening under the hood of the technology everyone is talking about.
In this masterclass, database expert Kevin Kline takes a practical look at large language models: how they work, why their architecture matters, and what their growing use could mean for database teams. Both sessions are live and interactive, with time for your questions, and available on demand to registrants.

The Database Blind Spot: Closing the Gaps in the IT Operations Monitoring Stack – Sep 16 & 17
Your infrastructure looks healthy, but performance issues persist. So what is happening inside the database?
This session shows how to uncover the database factors behind slowdowns by investigating waits, queries, workload activity, and blocking. You will learn to recognize when healthy infrastructure signals still leave a database blind spot, determine whether database behavior is contributing to an application slowdown, and improve incident routing without requiring infrastructure teams to become DBAs. It is built for IT operations and infrastructure managers, SRE and platform engineering leads, and application support leaders.

Migrate Legacy SAP Databases to HANA and HANA Cloud with Confidence – Sep 22 & 23
SAP HANA performance issues can quickly affect critical business processes, and surface-level metrics often show that something is wrong without explaining why.
See how SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) helps SAP Basis and database teams investigate SAP HANA performance with wait-based analytics, resource visibility, historical trends, and SQL-level insight. You will learn to identify where database time is being spent, investigate expensive SQL, waits, blocking, and resource pressure, and improve visibility across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

The Database No One’s Watching: Getting MongoDB Out of Your Blind Spot – Sep 24 & 29
Native tools have limits, and generic APM often misses the database detail needed to find the real cause of slowdowns and incidents.
This session takes a close look at what DBA-grade MongoDB observability looks like, with deep visibility into queries, waits, locks, and individual nodes. You will see how to bring MongoDB into a consistent, cross-database approach to performance and root-cause analysis, alongside SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL.
