Prioritise across the estate
Start with server availability, alerts and important workload indicators instead of opening each platform tool until you happen to find the problem.
Bring SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and Azure SQL monitoring into one operational view without reducing every platform to the same shallow metrics.
Mini DBA combines estate-wide visibility with database-specific diagnostics, so your team can find the system that needs attention and then investigate it with the evidence appropriate to that engine.
- Review database health and active alerts across a mixed estate.
- Use a consistent path from estate overview to server, database and workload.
- Retain metric and query history after intermittent symptoms disappear.
- Use AI-assisted analysis and MCP across the monitoring evidence you approve.
Replace separate database tools with one investigation workflow
Mixed estates grow through new applications, acquisitions, migrations and customer requirements. The operational cost appears when every platform needs a separate dashboard, login, alert process and troubleshooting routine.
Keep engine-specific depth
Follow the affected server into the sessions, waits, queries, plans, locks, memory, storage and health evidence exposed by that database platform.
Standardise team response
Give DBAs, developers and support engineers a familiar triage path while retaining the specialist evidence required for a safe technical decision.
One multi-database monitoring product, six supported platforms
Use shared estate, history, alert and assisted-investigation workflows with detailed monitoring designed for each database technology.
SQL Server monitoring
Investigate blocking, waits, expensive SQL, execution plans, deadlocks, memory, I/O, Always On and SQL Server health.
PostgreSQL monitoring
Find slow queries, locks, long transactions, vacuum debt, WAL pressure, memory, storage and PostgreSQL health risks.
MySQL and MariaDB monitoring
Connect query load and connections with InnoDB behaviour, locking, deadlocks, replication, memory and I/O.
Oracle monitoring
Explore Oracle sessions, SQL, waits, execution plans, memory, I/O, tablespaces, scheduler activity and database health.
Azure SQL monitoring
Trace DTU, vCore, data I/O, log and elastic-pool pressure back to the queries, waits and database activity responsible.
One browser Console
Move between platforms without changing the estate overview, alert workflow, historical time range or route into AI-assisted investigation.
Starting with one database server? Use Mini DBA Community Edition for free database monitoring, then activate a licence when you need additional connections and alerting.
Shared monitoring where consistency helps
Mini DBA creates common operational workflows across the estate without pretending SQL Server waits, PostgreSQL vacuum, MySQL InnoDB and Oracle sessions are interchangeable.
Continuous history
Retain metrics, queries and incident evidence so the investigation is not limited to whatever remains visible after a ticket is raised.
Alerts and escalation
Review current and historical alerts, configure thresholds and maintenance windows, and deliver notifications through the integrations your team uses.
Reports and health checks
Use platform-specific health checks and retained reports to support technical reviews, remediation work and capacity conversations.
Ask better questions across a mixed database estate
The AI Assistant can use optional context from the page being investigated to explain slow queries, alerts, deadlocks and execution plans for the selected platform.
The Database MCP Server lets approved compatible AI clients begin at estate level, identify the affected server and then call the relevant monitoring tools for its platform.
- Which monitored databases need attention now?
- Where is blocking or connection pressure increasing?
- Which expensive queries or waits recur across the estate?
- Which systems show developing capacity or availability risk?
Monitor databases across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments
Use the same Console when supported databases run on local servers, virtual machines, private networks or cloud-hosted database services.
On-premises and virtual machines
Place an Engine where it can reach the database endpoints and collect the operating-system evidence available for the deployment.
Cloud-hosted databases
Monitor Azure SQL and supported SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and Oracle services when network access and database permissions allow. Cloud provider settings can supply supported host metrics where direct OS access is unavailable.
Hybrid and separated networks
Most installations use one Engine. Advanced estates can connect additional Engines to one Console when sites, cloud networks or security boundaries require local collection.
Mini DBA monitors supported databases and their performance evidence. It is not a general AWS, Azure or Google Cloud infrastructure inventory, cost-management or cloud-security platform.
Cross-platform database monitoring FAQ
What does cross-platform monitoring mean?
It means finding and prioritising problems across different database technologies from one operational interface, then using the correct platform-specific diagnostics for the affected server.
Can one Engine monitor every database type?
One Engine can monitor supported database endpoints it can reach. Additional Engines are optional for advanced estates separated by site, network, customer or security boundary.
Are all platform screens identical?
No. Estate-level navigation is consistent, but diagnostic pages reflect the evidence that matters to SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle or Azure SQL.
Can Mini DBA monitor managed cloud databases?
Yes, for supported database services reachable by the Engine with the necessary permissions. Available host and service metrics depend on the platform and configured cloud access.
Can different platforms share alert workflows?
They share the Console, alert review and notification approach, while thresholds and evidence remain appropriate to the individual database platform.
Can managed service providers use this?
Yes. Support companies can combine cross-platform monitoring with optional per-customer Engines, server groups and cross-client operational views.
