Database availability monitoring involves continuously checking your databases to ensure applications and webpages can access the data they need without issues. Of course, performing those tests and checks manually can take a huge amount of time—time few IT professionals have to spare.
SolarWinds® ipMonitor® is built with several database availability monitors to help you more easily ensure around-the-clock database availability. These database availability monitors can perform queries, retrieve data, and analyze the results from SQL Servers to help you ensure everything is working correctly. If there are delays or problems with the results, the monitors can automatically send alerts to the proper members of your IT team, so you can get to the bottom of performance issues before they significantly affect the end-user experience.
Setting up a complicated monitoring tool is the last thing you want to do. SolarWinds ipMonitor includes several wizards designed to help you get the monitors you want up and running typically within minutes.
The ipMonitor Startup Wizard can help you more easily install the tool, discover devices on your network, and configure alerts for your monitors. ipMonitor also offers some setup wizards for specific monitors—including for the Database Experience ADO-User Experience (SQL Query) monitor—to help you ensure the optimal setup of your monitors.
The ADO-User Experience (SQL Query) Wizard can also help you configure a monitor with the smallest amount of initial input by automatically creating a SQL statement based on the info you provide. The wizard is designed to test the parameters you create to ensure the monitor will work as expected once you move to a production environment.
With ipMonitor, you can simply deploy the following monitors to help you better understand and track database availability:
Database availability monitors can help you more easily ensure databases are functioning as expected and applications, web pages, and end users can access the data they need in a reasonable amount of time.
End users—whether they’re your employees or customers—expect systems to be performing optimally. When there are issues with database availability, end users can experience delays that cause frustration and detract from the user experience. Database availability issues can cost you in any number of ways, from productivity losses for employees who have to wait for pages to load to the financial costs of having potential customers leave your site because it took too long to connect.
Database availability monitors can help you avoid these issues by consistently running tests to check if your databases are available and functioning properly. Monitoring database availability can help you more easily detect issues with queries, bottlenecks, and other performance problems before they significantly affect end users.Database availability monitors are built to use sample queries to regularly test the availability and functionality of your databases. They work to identify issues proactively, so you never find out about a problem for the first time from an unhappy end user.
Database availability monitoring can involve a few different elements, which is why different monitors can have slightly different approaches or purposes that, when used together, can amount to a thorough monitoring process to help you more easily ensure database availability.
Database availability monitors typically work by connecting to a SQL Server or other supported data source. They then perform a sample query, use it to retrieve data, and analyze the results to make sure they’re correct. Some database availability monitors can specifically test the ability to connect and log in to a SQL server or other data source while others can test the performance of a server’s subsystems to better understand its overall health.
SolarWinds ipMonitor is designed to make it easier to set up and use database availability monitors.
You can use the Startup Wizard and the many monitor-specific wizards, including the ADO - User Experience (SQL Query) Wizard and the ADO (SQL Connect) Wizard, to set up the monitors most useful for your organization.
Once your monitors are added, you can easily check their status right from the user-friendly and intuitive dashboard. If you want to dig deeper into your database availability monitors to learn more about their status or their tests, you can simply click on it right from the dashboard to get more details.
While you can track your database availability monitors through the dashboard whenever you want to, you don’t have to track them manually thanks to the sophisticated alerting features included in ipMonitor. When you first set up the tool (and when you set up each individual monitor), you can configure alerts to determine when and how you want to be notified when a monitor detects an issue with database availability. This way, you can focus on other tasks with the confidence of knowing you’ll be informed when a database availability issue demands your attention.

In addition to database availability monitors, SolarWinds ipMonitor includes more than 50 other monitors to help you more easily ensure your webpages, servers, and other elements of your environment are running optimally. Other monitor categories included in ipMonitor are:
