Identify common problems with wait-based analytics

Amazon AWS EC2 Monitoring - Memory & Instances Performance Use case type 1 1 Features Array Item - features item image

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

Amazon AWS EC2 Monitoring - Memory & Instances Performance Use case type 1 2 Features Array Item - features item image

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

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud and is designed to help you develop and deploy databases and applications in computing environments without making substantial investments in hardware upfront.

EC2 instances are essentially virtual servers in Amazon EC2. With EC2, you can launch as few or as many virtual servers as you need. EC2 can act as a practically unlimited group of virtual machines. It also lets you manage storage and configure networking and security as needed. EC2 also helps you reduce your need to predict traffic ahead of time because you can handle spikes in popularity or changes in requirements by easily scaling up or down as needed.

EC2 also helps you reduce your need to predict traffic ahead of time because you can handle spikes in popularity or changes in requirements by easily scaling up or down as needed.
An EC2 monitoring tool collects, aggregates, and analyzes key performance metrics for your EC2 environments, granting you visibility into your databases and applications and offering actionable insights to optimize performance.
Two key elements EC2 monitoring software should collect data on to help you address performance issues include:
Resource starvation: When the resources servers need to support clients are exhausted, those servers can become unavailable. If a server lacks sufficient memory or CPU to support an incoming SSH connection, the server will be inaccessible through a remote terminal. Through EC2 memory monitoring, an EC2 monitoring tool can store data on instance resource usage and let you see if instances are approaching a ceiling and risk becoming unavailable.
Usage and performance: Your application and database performance relies on the performance of the server the application is running on. Since an EC2 instances monitoring tool continuously monitors system performance, you can use the tool to keep track of the server’s resource availability and performance in real-time. A quality EC2 monitoring tool can help you get to the root cause of problems—including bottlenecks—faster, so you can address issues before they have a significant impact on performance.
To detect performance problems as they arise, an EC2 monitoring tool can also collect a variety of other key metrics, including:
CPU utilization
Disk read/write operation
Disk read/write bytes
Network in/out
Network packets in/out
Status check failed (instance/system)
Tools like SolarWinds DPA are designed to provide you with the best ability to improve performance by offering evidence-based recommendations on tuning, query blocks, and other metrics for quick and successful step-by-step troubleshooting.
