What it puts in front of your teams
Every capability is available from day one. No additional instrumentation required beyond the initial agent deployment.
See a live demonstrationSlow query list
Ranked list of slowest queries by average time, total time and frequency, updated continuously.
Execution plan inspection
Capture the query execution plan at the moment of the slowdown, not after the fact.
Index recommendation
AI-assisted index suggestions based on query patterns and execution plan analysis.
Lock and deadlock analysis
Detect lock waits and deadlocks in real time, with the queries and tables involved.
Connection pool monitoring
Track pool utilisation, wait times and exhaustion events before they cause transaction failures.
From signal to action in seconds
Deploy once
A lightweight Edge agent deploys to your environment. Auto-discovery maps services, hosts and applications without manual configuration.
Collect everything
Month-end balance inquiries slow from 200ms to 12 seconds. Database monitoring captures the execution plan showing a missing index on the account_id column. Adding the index restores normal performance in minutes.
Act with confidence
Anomaly detection, root cause analysis and AI-assisted recommendations give your teams the context to act fast and correctly.
Signals captured by DB
Month-end balance inquiries slow from 200ms to 12 seconds. Database monitoring captures the execution plan showing a missing index on the account_id column. Adding the index restores normal performance in minutes.
What changes for the business
Faster root cause
Go from "the database is slow" to "this specific query needs this index" in minutes, not days.
Protected transactions
Detect connection pool exhaustion before it causes transaction failures, not after.
Right-sized capacity
Identify over-provisioned database resources and consolidate on evidence, not safety margins.
Better together with the Edge platform
DB writes its data to the Edge Datalake, making it queryable and correlatable alongside every other module in real time.
Database Monitoring questions, answered
What does Edge Database Monitoring monitor?
Edge Database Monitoring captures signals including query execution time, query frequency, lock waits, connection pool size, cache hit rate, index efficiency, and provides slow query list, execution plan inspection, index recommendation and more.
How is Edge Database Monitoring deployed?
Edge connects through lightweight agents or agentless connectors — typically 2–4 hours for a standard environment — and can be deployed on-premises, in your private cloud or in a regional cloud, so monitoring data stays within your jurisdiction.
Does it work with the monitoring tools we already use?
Yes. Edge is designed for a no-rip-and-replace approach and connects alongside your existing stack, with 100+ integrations across cloud, containers, databases, APM agents, telemetry standards and alerting channels.
How does DB connect to the rest of Edge?
DB writes its data to the Edge Datalake, so it can be queried and correlated in real time with application traces, logs, infrastructure metrics and real user data from the other Edge modules.
How is it priced?
Pricing is tailored to the scale of your environment, the modules you choose and your deployment model. Start with a short, no-obligation discovery session and NCG will prepare a scoped proposal.
