The database list shows all detected databases along with key performance indicators. Stale databases can be configured to be automatically removed.

From the database list, you can select a database and click View to see the Database Calls dashboard. The dashboard displays a Database Flow Map, database properties, and graphs of the key performance indicators (KPIs). The database properties indicate how the agent identifies the database and control how it shows in the display map and how the metrics are aggregated. For a discussion of baselines and how they are used and configured, see Dynamic Baselines.

The database dashboard has two tabs and an action options menu:

• Dashboard: Displays the flow map showing traffic from the calling tier to the database, the backend properties used for auto-detection and naming, and key performance indicators.
• Slowest Database Calls: Lists up to ten calls to the database with the longest execution time, by tier and for all tiers. See Slow Database Calls.

• The Action menu provides additional actions:

  • Rename Backend: Renames the database.
  • Resolve Backend to Tier: Associates the database with the tier that you select so that the backend appears in the grid view of the tier and not as an independent component ("unresolved backend") on the application dashboard flow map. You can reverse this operation from the Configure Backends resolving to this Tier item in Actions menu in the Tier dashboard.
  • Delete Backends: Removes instances of the database from the controller and all agents. An agent can re-discover the database and register it with the controller.

You can access the Database Server List by clicking Servers > Databases. See Backend Detection Rules.
