DBmarlin for Database Administrators (DBA)
Helps DBA teams to monitor and optimise the databases they are reponsible for. It provides a single source of the truth for database performance which aids collaboration with other teams.
Database observability challenges for DBAs
In mid to large organisations, there is likely to be a DBA or DBA team but often the relationship between DBA and other roles like developers, DevOps or SRE can be tricky. Having clearly defined responsibilities for each role and sharing a common monitoring tool can hugely aid in the communication of database performance issues. DBmarlin is a tool which can help DBAs get to the root-cause of problems with the database such as locking issues, or other types of contention or resource saturation which can be problematic for databases. As a read-only monitoring tool it can also be shared with other roles such as developers so that they can tune their SQL code. By having a shared tool between the DBA team and other roles makes sharing information or collaborating to solve database problems much easier.
One tool, multiple databases
DBA teams can detect abnormal performance and importantly understand what causes the problem.
Event markers for code releases
Have your CI or CD tools send events to our API so you see them on the charts in DBmarlin. This makes it easy to see if a code release had a positive or negative impact on the database.
Statement drill down
Any time you make a code change there is the potential for it to impact on database performance. DBmarlin monitors every statement and you can drill down to understand its performance profile and execution plan in order to tune it.
Automatic suggestions
DBmarlin has a built-in knowledge-base for database wait events and statement execution plan operations which will guide the tuning process showing what can be done to improve performance.
