From Trace to Query: How Database Visibility Makes APM Stronger

Learn an effective framework for connecting application performance monitoring to database investigations.

When applications slow down, the issue is often deeper than the service layer. Queries, lock contention, and connection pressure can all impact performance in ways APM alone may miss.

In this eBook, you’ll learn about the techniques and monitoring tools required to:

• Establish baseline database visibility and quickly detect connection spikes, errors, and host pressure
• Move directly from a slow trace into query-level analysis, without switching tools or losing context
• Connect application traces to downstream database calls
