Datadog Database Monitoring (DBM) Recommendations aim to proactively optimize database performance by drawing from various data sources. The recommendations identify indexing opportunities, prioritize them based on query metrics, and provide actionable guidance for optimization. DBM analyzes explain plans, query text, and other data sources to detect patterns associated with poor query performance. It then uses these insights to formulate targeted index recommendations, which are presented in a contextual workflow along with relevant data and step-by-step guides. The recommendations prioritize severity levels based on query metrics, allowing users to set priorities and create monitors for alerts. DBM's unique approach enables proactive optimization of database performance with confidence.
