Dynatrace has enhanced its database monitoring capabilities by launching extensions for several relational databases, including IBM DB2, SAP HanaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake, providing specialized domain expertise and selected metrics to boost observability. These new features offer query-level insights, custom metrics, and log analysis, which are crucial for identifying server load issues and ensuring efficient database operation. Monitoring relational databases, known for their structured format, is vital in large IT environments to prevent data loss or downtime and to facilitate proactive maintenance and optimization. Dynatrace's solution uses an extension-built topology model to monitor performance, availability, and settings of database layers even in complex environments, allowing users to drill down into high availability replicas and AlwaysOn groups in SQL Server. The extensions aim to provide a comprehensive overview of database infrastructure, enabling seamless collaboration among stakeholders to resolve issues, with plans to introduce further enhancements such as JMX-based connection pool monitoring and NoSQL extensions.
