Gain multi-dimensional performance analysis with an EC2 monitoring tool


SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) provides multi-dimensional performance analysis to help you dive deeper into your database performance. DPA is built to identify historical performance trends and can give you actionable advice on the inner workings of Aurora, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, DB2, and SAP ASE (Sybase) instances deployed on Amazon RDS and EC2.

Identify common problems with wait-based analytics

A key to understanding performance is to focus on improving the worst-performing SQL statements, the response time for those statements, and the specific steps within the relational database management system, known as Wait Events or Wait Types.

SolarWinds DPA includes wait-based analytics to help you quickly identify common problems, such as delays due to storage, network, table locks, and memory, as well as edge cases, such as waits due to cluster failover and synchronization of parallel threads.

Get performance analysis for databases running on AWS

SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is ready to help you analyze the performance of databases such as SQL Server and Oracle running on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Using DPA, you can:

  • See the total wait time the database is causing for your app
  • Avoid over-provisioning by correlating the provisioning of resources to database performance improvements 
  • Identify query blocks caused by locking, which can cause database performance issues regardless of the resources provisioned
  • Use the integrated Table Tuning Advisors, which are built to deliver clear and actionable advice

Deploy Database Performance Analyzer in the AWS cloud typically in seconds

You can use a ready-to-go image including DPA and a pre-configured SQL Server historical repository. Just register your RDS or EC2 monitoring SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, or SAP ASE (Sybase) instances, and start monitoring with preconfigured DPA.

Use agentless architecture for EC2 monitoring flexibility

The agentless architecture used by SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is built to offer you flexibility in monitoring across distributed locations, deployment options, and database platforms. You can install DPA on an EC2 instance, or even on a physical server or VM—as long as the network connection between Database Performance Analyzer and the monitored instances are at low latency.
