Summary

Dynatrace's new observability app, Databases, is designed to address the needs of database administrators by providing a comprehensive overview of database performance and availability, along with deep insights into architectural complexities for effective troubleshooting. It serves as a centralized monitoring solution, unifying DBAs, application owners, and ITOps within a single interface to enhance collaboration and problem resolution. The app offers a detailed view of various database elements, including services, hosts, instances, and tablespaces, and can identify potential security threats such as DDoS attacks through real-time metric monitoring. By offering a user-friendly dashboard, the app simplifies database monitoring, allowing users to quickly pinpoint issues and optimize performance. Dynatrace plans to further enhance the app with features like query execution-plan access and database log monitoring to provide even more powerful insights.
