Fix issues fast & optimize database performance with PRTG

Performance bottlenecks lead to serious business impacts, such as slow responses, delayed transactions, and poor end user experience. Paessler PRTG, your all-in-one database monitoring tool, helps keep your colleagues happy by making sure your databases stay reliable, fast, and efficient.

Monitor & manage database resource usage

Performance degradation is a slowly growing beast that can often be left by the wayside. Without proper resource consumption monitoring, your relational database system can suffer system overloads, data corruption, and higher operational costs, among other issues.

PRTG makes degradation a thing of the past by helping with load balancing and database optimization.

Check query performance to locate bad actors

Monitoring query performance metrics is the key to smooth, responsive applications. PRTG database performance monitoring provides a range of query data, such as execution time, how they’re written, whether they effectively use indexes, and how resources are used.

Get the data you need to locate and optimize slow queries.

Identify & track errors and failures in real time

High error rates point to underlying issues that can significantly impact your business processes. If these errors aren’t addressed, they can lead to system downtime, data loss, and worse.

PRTG helps database administrators quickly identify failed queries, connectivity problems, hardware malfunctions, and more, so problems can be proactively resolved.

Easily handle multiple user sessions

When your database has multiple users, high performance and efficient data access are crucial for a good user experience. Concurrency control makes sure that each user and operation can access the database without issues with integrity.

PRTG helps by tracking locking mechanisms, deadlocks, and isolation levels, so you can optimize for concurrent access.

Back up your backup with replication monitoring

Copying data from one database SQL server to another helps maintain data redundancy and high availability in the event of data loss or corruption.

PRTG checks your backups and helps verify that data is being accurately copied and stored, providing defense against data loss and failures.

Monitor database performance: FAQ

 

What is database performance monitoring?

With database performance monitoring, the performance of a specific database is measured in real time. The performance of both the software and hardware of database servers is considered. The goal is to identify problems and find ways to quickly improve performance. Database performance monitoring should always be part of an effective database management strategy.

Why is database performance monitoring important?

If the performance of your databases drops even a little, each and every process in your company can suffer. In today’s world, the effectiveness of business processes depends on quick and reliable databases. Optimized databases make for faster applications. In many instances, you can greatly increase the speed of your applications simply by optimizing your databases.

How does PRTG measure database performance?

PRTG can monitor databases directly from the user’s perspective. To do so, it sends queries to the database server and measures the time required for each individual step. You can also configure PRTG to monitor the return value and define your own threshold values for the latter.

If one of these thresholds is exceeded, you’ll be informed immediately by email, SMS, or push notification.

What metrics are important in database performance monitoring?

Key metrics include CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, query execution times, transaction throughput, error rates, and concurrency.

How does PRTG alert me about performance issues?

PRTG provides real-time alerts and notifications through various channels, including email, SMS, and push notifications.

Can I customize the alerts and notifications in PRTG?

Yes, PRTG allows you to set up custom alerts and notifications based on specific performance thresholds and conditions.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.

On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

 

PRTG the multi-tool

PRTG: The multi-tool for sysadmins

Adapt PRTG individually and dynamically to your needs and rely on a strong API:

  • HTTP API: Access monitoring data and manipulate monitoring objects via HTTP requests
  • Custom sensors: Create your own PRTG sensors for customized monitoring
  • Custom notifications: Create your own notifications and send action triggers to external systems
  • REST Custom sensor: Monitor almost everything that provides data in XML or JSON format
