Database monitoring features

Mini DBA brings live monitoring, history, alerts and guided investigation together in one browser-based console. Monitor mixed database estates without switching between a different tool for every platform.

  • See estate health, active alerts and important metrics at a glance.
  • Investigate queries, waits, blocking, deadlocks, memory, storage and database health.
  • Keep metric and query history for troubleshooting, comparison and capacity planning.
  • Use one Console with one or more monitoring Engines, including multi-site environments.

Monitor the whole database estate

Move from a high-level estate view to the detail behind an individual database problem.

Live dashboards

Follow connections, CPU, waits, memory, storage, throughput and workload activity with database-specific dashboards and more than 100 collected metrics.

24×7 monitoring

The Mini DBA Engine keeps collecting while nobody has the Console open, preserving history and evaluating alerts around the clock.

Find the cause of performance problems

Start with the affected server, database or alert, then work through the evidence without assembling a collection of diagnostic scripts.

  • Identify expensive and long-running queries.
  • Inspect waits, sessions, locks, blocking chains and deadlocks.
  • Review execution plans and focus on costly operators.
  • Compare current behaviour with metric and query history.
  • Run database-specific health checks and review actionable findings.

AI-assisted database investigation

The AI Assistant helps turn monitoring evidence into a focused investigation while keeping the database context close to the question.

  • Explore likely causes of performance issues and decide what to check next.
  • Analyse deadlock participants, resources and competing statements.
  • Explain execution plans and highlight operators that deserve attention.
  • Summarise alerts and suggest practical follow-up checks for a DBA to review.

History, alerts and operational control

Keep enough context to understand what happened, notify the right people and manage monitoring across environments.

Metric and query history

Review earlier workload, waits, queries, alerts and deadlocks to investigate intermittent issues and compare performance over time.

Flexible alerting

Use alert presets, configurable thresholds and maintenance windows, then deliver notifications through the integrations used by your team.

Multi-site monitoring

Connect a Console to multiple Engines when an advanced environment needs separate monitoring locations or network boundaries.

Fast installation

No separate logging database is required. Install Mini DBA in a few clicks and the Engine manages its own monitoring history and configuration.
