Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
For complete instructions on starting a DPA instance, please follow this link for more information: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/kbloader.aspx?kb=MT2494
Once you verify in the EC2 console that your AMI EC2 instance is running, launch DPA by opening a browser and entering this URL: http://<Your_Public_DNS> (for example: http://ec2-54-175-249-214.compute-1.amazonaws.com ).
You can copy and paste <Your_Public_DNS> from your EC2 console. The initial DPA password will be your EC2 instance_id, which you can get also from your EC2 console. When you log in to DPA for the first time, you will be asked to: 1) Create a DPA repository. 2) Agree to the EULA. 3) Select a default timezone. Then you can then start registering databases for monitoring.

Smarter database performance adjustments over time
Reviewed on Mar 05, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The most significant advantage of Database Observability is the ability to monitor the long term changes in the databases’ activity. It makes it possible to identify workload changes over time and this can assist in proper allocation of resources. It is run in parallel with scheduling systems so that background processes do not interfere with peak times. This has helped to minimize disruptions and other such issues that would slow down the operations of the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
A disadvantage of Database Observability is that it produces a high number of alerts for minor fluctuations in performance. However, having many alerts for minor changes is not very useful as it makes it difficult to identify genuine issues. Also, tuning the alert settings requires some time and if not well done, it results in many distractions. These issues have at one time or another hindered our capacity to handle emergent database problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team uses Database Observability to stop unnecessary resource expenditure by finding repetitive processing operations that require excessive power. Through these optimizations we achieved better work balance throughout the day for our system by optimizing queries and background processes. Observability of database operations enables us to discover inefficient patterns at the right time which helps lower operational expenses while improving time responses for critical programs. Due to our ongoing implementation of the system we could shift our attention toward business priorities instead of continuously solving system slowdowns.

Database Observability finally stopped our endless database performance issues
Reviewed on Feb 28, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy using the Database Observability because it shows us our database performance data. Our team struggled with too many database logs and performance numbers until now. Viewing trends and database issues has become easy. Our database performance data appears on a single display screen. Our time increases because it gives us notice when database issues may become hard to solve. Database Observability detected a slow query before it could create a performance bottleneck. Our quick action prevented a disastrous system slowdown from happening. This tool helps us avoid problems by detecting them first. Our team saves three hours per week because we use its detailed reports during our weekly meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The waiting time for data synchronization creates annoying delays. Our troubleshooting process hit a delay because the data needed time to sync. Database Observability often shows technical problems during use and I faced several times when the app interface froze so I needed to restart the application. The delay in syncing causes minor problems but does not prevent you from working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our database system handles problem detection faster than before. Past observations of events always came too late to prevent damage from materializing. Our system now detects and addresses issues automatically without making it to our users. Thanks to Database Observability our database system operates with greater initiative than before. Our weak view into database performance now has a successful solution.
