THE PROBLEM
You're Flying Blind Without Database Monitoring
"We Had No Idea There Was a
Problem"
Your database is slowing down, eating disk space, or about to crash—but you won't know until users start complaining or systems go down.
"Our Alerts Are Useless"
Your database is slowing down, eating disk space, or about to crash—but you won't know until users start complaining or systems go down.
"We Don't Know What's Normal

Common Problems We Catch
Disk Space Emergencies
We detect disk growth trends weeks in advance. You get an alert with projected days-to-full and a recommended action — before it becomes a 2 AM emergency.
Silent Performance Degradation
Queries that ran in 200ms last month now take 3 seconds. Users notice before you do. We catch degradation trends early so you can fix them before customers complain.
Failed Backups Nobody Noticed
"Our backup job had been failing silently for three weeks. That alert alone was worth a year of monitoring."
Security Blind Spots
"We discovered a former contractor's account was still active with elevated permissions."
