Summary

Dynatrace has introduced new JMX extensions designed to enhance visibility and monitoring of database connection pools across major application servers like Apache Tomcat, Oracle WebLogic, RedHat JBoss, IBM WebSphere Application Server, and IBM WebSphere Liberty. These extensions incorporate the Davis AI engine, which provides automated anomaly detection, alerting, and analysis of issues such as connection leaks and undersized pools. By integrating with CI/CD pipelines and offering real-time insights, the extensions help identify and resolve problems that impact end-user experience, like slowdowns caused by maxed-out connection pools. Users can view connection pool metrics at various levels in the Dynatrace web UI, enabling a comprehensive understanding of how application performance is affected. This update is part of a broader initiative to improve database monitoring capabilities in Dynatrace, inviting users to share feedback for further enhancements.
