With database performance monitoring, the performance of a specific database is measured in real time. The performance of both the software and hardware of database servers is considered. The goal is to identify problems and find ways to quickly improve performance. Database performance monitoring should always be part of an effective database management strategy.
If the performance of your databases drops even a little, each and every process in your company can suffer. In today’s world, the effectiveness of business processes depends on quick and reliable databases. Optimized databases make for faster applications. In many instances, you can greatly increase the speed of your applications simply by optimizing your databases.
PRTG can monitor databases directly from the user’s perspective. To do so, it sends queries to the database server and measures the time required for each individual step. You can also configure PRTG to monitor the return value and define your own threshold values for the latter.
If one of these thresholds is exceeded, you’ll be informed immediately by email, SMS, or push notification.
Key metrics include CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, query execution times, transaction throughput, error rates, and concurrency.
PRTG provides real-time alerts and notifications through various channels, including email, SMS, and push notifications.
Yes, PRTG allows you to set up custom alerts and notifications based on specific performance thresholds and conditions.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
