Datadog's Database Monitoring (DBM) Recommendations aim to proactively optimize database performance by analyzing explain plans and query metrics. DBM identifies indexing opportunities, prioritizes recommendations based on severity, and provides contextual workflows for evaluation and implementation. The tool draws from a wide range of data sources, including static data such as explain plans and table schemas, as well as dynamic sources like query metrics. By applying this holistic approach, DBM helps users optimize database performance with confidence and stay ahead of potential issues.
