Mini DBA gives your team one view across every connected database estate.
Users work in the browser-based Console, with no database client required.
The Console exchanges monitoring views and settings with a Mini DBA Engine.
The Engine collects database metrics, evaluates alerts, and stores history for investigation.
Metrics and alerts return to the Console, giving the team an estate-wide view and fast drill-down.
For separate sites, networks, or customers, optional Engines still feed one central Console.
Monitor more. Investigate faster. With Mini DBA.
Installation components at a glance
Users open the Mini DBA Console over HTTPS. The Console exchanges monitoring data and alert configuration with a Mini DBA Engine, while the Engine connects to the monitored databases and maintains its persistent configuration, metrics, alerts, logs, and licence state. One Engine suits most installations; advanced environments can connect additional Engines to the same Console when monitoring multiple sites or networks.
