24/7 Real-Time Database Health Monitoring
Improve performance with insights into database health
Elevate your database health monitoring
SolarWinds® Database Observability is designed to continuously monitor database performance, providing insight into health and detailed performance metrics down to the second. Database Observability helps simplify database health checks with the help of flexible tools and expert guidance that can fill a critical gap in your monitoring stack, including the ability to provide instant recommendations on where to change server configuration or find queries with potentially bad behavior.
With 24/7 real-time monitoring, you can more easily attain your KPI goals for availability, deployment frequency, reduce deploy failures, lead time for changes, MTTD, MTTR, and more.
Build custom dashboards to support real-time monitoring
When it comes to real-time database health monitoring, having visibility into the key metrics you’re tracking is essential.
SolarWinds Database Observability is designed to continuously monitor key metrics tied to database health and allow you to build custom dashboards so you can get insights into what’s important to you. With custom dashboards, you can:
- Track metrics and watch for trends with health summary for databases and systems
- Get recommendations based on best practices
- Explore performance outliers
- Manage resource capacity
- Compare database performance before and after releases
Stay on top of database health monitoring with automated alerting
Having a tool that performs thorough database health monitoring is important, but it’s even more valuable if it includes a powerful alerting system to help keep database administrators in the know about detected issues.
SolarWinds Database Observability includes a powerful, customizable alerting system to notify the appropriate stakeholders about inferred or detected abnormalities to the host, system, queries, and more before they have a chance to affect database availability or performance. Once alerted, Database Observability is built to be easier for database administrators to navigate and locate the information they need to begin addressing the problem with user-friendly dashboards.
Monitor key elements of your database, whether it’s on-premises, hybrid, or in the cloud
SolarWinds Database Observability is a SaaS application designed for database health monitoring for on-premises, hybrid, or cloud-based databases. Database Observability is built to deploy agents to pull data from a host to continuously monitor the function and performance of databases in real time.

Do you find yourself asking…
A big part of checking database health is monitoring key metrics to better understand issues that could impact database health. Some of the most important server metrics related to database health to monitor include:
- Transactions – Monitoring transactions can offer a reflective measurement of database performance, as identifying long running or blocked transactions can help you better understand the potential effect on response time and causes of deadlocks.
- Query performance – Poor query performance can impact database performance. Some specific issues to look for in your queries are deadlocks, too many or too few indexes, and queries selecting more data than necessary.
- Capacity – Some issues with database performance may also be due to capacity issues. These include insufficient or slow CPU, slow disk without sufficient IOPS, misconfigured or full disks, and lack of memory.
- Configuration – Checking your configurations against best practices can help you make sure the settings aren’t affecting database performance.
When it comes to understanding database health, it’s also important to consider which database type you’re using and picking the right health monitoring approach for that specific database. For example, a NoSQL database (which is not relational) may need a different database health check than a relational database like SQL.
