Summary

Dynatrace's newly updated Databases app introduces advanced query-level monitoring features that allow users to optimize database performance by analyzing individual queries. The app enables the identification of resource-intensive queries through the Top Queries view and provides insights into their execution via Query Execution Plans. These features help in pinpointing database bottlenecks, such as inefficient joins and missing indexes, thereby facilitating targeted optimizations. Supported for multiple database engines including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, the app allows users to examine execution time, CPU consumption, and I/O utilization to improve application performance. This functionality aims to ensure databases are not bottlenecks in applications and that queries are executed efficiently, ultimately enhancing overall system performance.
