DB KPI Configuration and Management

Overview:

The DB KPI module allows you to configure database performance monitoring by creating DB KPI profiles and mapping them to DB KPI configurations. This setup is completed in two main stages:

  1. Creating a DB KPI Profile

  2. Creating and managing DB KPI configurations under DB KPI Management

Both steps are mandatory for DB KPI monitoring to function correctly.


  1. Go to Settings

  2. Click on Configurations

  3. Select DB KPI

You will now see the DB KPI configuration screen with two sections:

  • DB KPI Profile

  • DB KPI Management

Create a DB KPI Profile:

A DB KPI Profile stores database connection and authentication details. This profile is later reused while creating DB KPI configurations.

Steps to Add a DB KPI Profile

  1. From Settings → Configurations → DB KPI, stay on the DB KPI Profile tab

  2. Click Add DB Profile on the right side

The Add DB Profile dialog opens.

Fields to Fill

  • Profile Name
    Enter a unique and descriptive name for the DB KPI profile

  • DB Type
    Select the database type from the dropdown
    Example MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle

  • Username
    Enter the database username with read access to required performance metrics

  • Password
    Enter the corresponding database password

  • DB Port
    Enter the database port number
    Example 3306 for MySQL, 5432 for PostgreSQL, 1433 for MSSQL

Save Profile

  1. Click Save

Result:

  • The DB KPI profile is created successfully

  • The profile appears in the DB KPI Profile dashboard

  • This profile can now be reused when configuring DB KPI monitoring


Create DB KPI Management Configuration:

After creating at least one DB KPI profile, you can configure DB KPI monitoring for specific database instances.

Navigate to DB KPI Management

  1. Click on the DB KPI Management tab

  2. Click Add New DBKPI

The Add New DBKPI window opens.

Configure DB KPI Details

  • DB Network Group
    Select the database network group where the database server resides

  • DB Server
    Select the target database server from the list

Profile Configuration Section

  • Configuration Type
    Select the configuration type
    Example Single IP

  • Profile
    Select the previously created DB KPI Profile

  • DB Name
    Enter the database name that needs to be monitored

  • Click Add Profile if multiple profiles or databases need to be added

Optional Fields

  • Comment
    Enter any additional notes or description for this DB KPI configuration

Save Configuration

  1. Click Save



Result:

  • The DB KPI configuration is listed in the DB KPI Management dashboard

  • The database is now enabled for KPI monitoring

  • Metrics collection begins based on the configured profile and server


Managing DB KPI Groups:

From the DB KPI Management dashboard, you can:

  • View all configured DB KPIs

  • Group multiple DB KPIs using Manage DBKPI Group

  • Modify or organize DB KPI configurations for better management


Once the DB KPI Profile and DB KPI configuration are successfully created, the system begins collecting database performance metrics. These metrics are visualized under the Database Performance section.
