How Database Performance Monitor works

How Database Performance Monitor works

As a SaaS platform, SolarWinds® Database Performance Monitor (DPM) is easy to install and simple for teams to get started with. For all instances, DPM pulls data from a host by deploying a set of agents. DPM’s discovery looks for specific processes listening to TCP connections. Additional agents will run depending on the database instances found. Both a metrics agent and a query agent exist for the database types DPM supports.

Dynamic interface

Dynamic interface

DPM displays its information in a dynamic interface, with dashboards optimized for organizing and viewing the most relevant information about a database’s activity and work. These dashboards are easy to understand but also highly customizable, making it easy for teams to share DPM views. Enterprise security features such as role-based access control and single sign-on capability make team management and user provisioning safe and easy to integrate into an organization’s existing technologies.

How do the agents work?

How do the agents work?

Agents gather information and push it to the DPM API, which then analyzes and displays it. Agents are native binaries for each supported platform—Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows running on X86-64 processors.

DPM agent management involves downloading, updating, starting, and stopping agents, as mandated by the API. Version changes and updates can run automatically, or customers can choose to constrain updates to specific timeframes. In addition to the supervisor, every box runs a metrics aggregation agent and an OS-specific agent.
