Assessing Database Health and Performance
• Health versus performance: What’s the difference?
• Database health
• Database performance
• Diagnosing the root cause: Database performance management
best practices
• Acquire data and metrics
• Establish meaningful data management
• Triangulate issues
• Review execution plans
• Establish a baseline

@solarwinds
Database Monitoring Challenges
• On-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments?
• Visibility, control, and access vary widely
• Application infrastructure dependencies (server, VM, storage, database)
• Advanced troubleshooting requires a correlation of infrastructure metrics
• Getting a view of real-time and historic network and systems metrics gets everyone
on the same page
• Multi-cloud use is common and on the rise; a unified view is needed
• Virtualization is complex, dynamic, and require special tools or skills
• Migrating applications to the cloud requires scenario planning and capacity
forecasting
• Monitoring performance impacts and reporting are critical

Start with server health and infrastructure dependencies
Improving Database Health
• Monitor server capacity and resource usage
• Identify which server resources (such as CPU, memory, disk, etc.) have
reached capacity
• Optimize server and hardware resource investments
• Knowing when server resources reach capacity helps you make informed
decisions on hardware purchases
• Diagnose virtual and storage capacity issues
• Monitor virtual and storage resource capacity bottlenecks impacting
application health and performance

@solarwinds 10
Database Performance Tuning
• Most database performance issues are related to poorly written
queries and inefficient indexes
• Root cause analysis can be complex and time-consuming
• Database abnormalities can be hard to diagnose
• Especially when written by others and poorly documented
• Response time analysis correlates time spent on query execution
with end-user impact
• Automated tuning advisors point DBAs toward problems

Monitor applications and their supporting infrastructure, whether running on-premises, or in the cloud
Server & Application Monitor (SAM)
• Monitor your entire on-premises, cloud, or hybrid application environment
and infrastructure from one tool
• 1,200-plus application, system, and infrastructure monitoring templates
• Comprehensive monitoring for Microsoft® applications, systems, hypervisor,
IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS products
• Visualize and map the dynamic communication-based relationships between
applications and servers so you can discover the issues that slow down your
applications
• Links: Data - Demo - Resource

@solarwinds
What Makes SAM Unique?
• Monitor hundreds of commercial applications and servers from a central console
• SAM includes 1,200+ application, system, infrastructure, and cloud templates, such as Active
Directory®, Office 365®, Java®, XenApp®, IBM® WebSphere®, Lync®, and more
• Also supports custom/home-grown applications
• Easily customize built-in alerts; alerts are intelligent and dependency aware
• A unified view of application monitoring for on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments
• AppInsight™ provides detailed monitoring of Exchange™, SQL Server®, and IIS™
• AppStack™ visualizes the relationships and dependencies between applications and supporting
infrastructure to help identify the root cause of application problems
• PerfStack™ correlates and charts systems and network metrics for advanced troubleshooting
• SAM is part of the SolarWinds Orion Platform, making it easy to add other SolarWinds modules for
network monitoring, virtualization monitoring, storage monitoring, and more

@solarwinds
On-Premises and How SAM Helps
• Create custom monitors, modify available templates, and import your
existing custom scripts to monitor your applications and relevant services
• Leverage Windows®, Linux®, and AIX® agents
• Leverage hardware and software inventory reports to help improve asset
management
• Leverage Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) integration to monitor
associated databases
• Leverage Network Performance Monitor (NPM) integration and visualize
critical path with the NetPath feature to improve troubleshooting

@solarwinds
Cloud and How SAM Helps
• Leverage SAM API integrations to monitor the performance and availability of Microsoft
Azure and Amazon® AWS infrastructure, including AWS GovCloud
• SAM instructions for AWS GovCloud can be found here
• Utilize agents for private or hybrid cloud environments
• SAM templates provide monitoring best practices for SaaS applications like Office 365
• Leverage DPA integration to monitor hybrid and cloud-based databases
• For deeper insight to virtualization issues, leverage Virtualization Manager integration
• Deployable on premises and in the cloud
• Including availability in the Azure Marketplace and Azure SQL managed instance support
• Utilize NPM/NTA integration and visualize critical path (such as with NetPath) to improve
troubleshooting and visibility to SLA metrics

@solarwinds 16
Cross-platform performance monitoring and management for cloud and on-premises
Database Performance Analyzer (DPA)
• Down-to-the-second monitoring, for both real-time and historical analysis
• Find your worst performing applications, SQL, and tables in seconds
• Hybrid monitoring for virtualized, physical, and cloud-based DB instances
• Uncover root causes from CPU and I/O down to the SQL statement
• Visualize all wait times from resources to blocking, to host resources and VM
resources, and more
• Machine learning anomaly detection that gets better over time
• Detailed blocking and deadlock analysis expose your SQL blocking hierarchy
• Links: Data - Demo - Resource

@solarwinds
DPA Database Optimization Details
• 24/7 Database Health Monitoring
• Overall database instance health, down-to-the-second data collection
• Query Optimization
• Response time analysis helps identify the root cause of performance
problems
• Custom reports and alerts
• Automatic notification of critical events
• Hybrid database coverage
• Support for on-premises, virtualized, and cloud
