Database Monitoring

Resolve issues and optimize inefficient query performance across entire database fleets

Datadog Database Monitoring (DBM) enables application developers and database administrators to troubleshoot and optimize inefficient queries across database environments. Easily understand database load, pinpoint long-running and blocking queries, drill into precise execution details, and optimize query performance to prevent incidents and spiraling database costs. With Database Monitoring, easily identify, investigate, and resolve slow and problematic queries by unifying database, application, and infrastructure telemetry in one place.

2024 GARTNER® MAGIC QUADRANT™

Datadog has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms

Troubleshoot database host and query inefficiencies

  • Triage database issues using wait event load analysis and host insights to quickly identify areas of underperformance
  • Find out what resources queries are waiting on and what users, queries, services, and applications are driving the load on database hosts
  • Isolate long-running queries by examining historical and currently running query performance and database configuration metrics
  • Resolve database table locks by visually identifying root blocking queries and impacted waiting queries to identify specific query processes to kill

Proactively optimize query performance

  • Track performance trends by monitoring key query metrics, including average latency, total execution time, and number of rows queried over time
  • Quickly improve underperforming queries that have long-running transactions, are high-impact blockers, or have index recommendations by using automated Watchdog insights
  • Identify the best performing query configurations by comparing individual query executions

Resolve outages faster with unified database and application performance

  • Accelerate root cause analysis of high latency by correlating distributed traces with query metrics and explain plans in one view
  • Triage issue faster across teams by understanding how database bottlenecks impact calling services and vice versa
  • Monitor database host and query metrics alongside service performance, reliability, and cost data in Service Catalog
