What it does

Key features

  • Complete query capture: every APAC query without sampling for full workload visibility
  • Query profiler: cumulative APAC query cost analysis (frequency × duration)
  • Deployment annotations: correlate APAC releases with database performance changes
  • Multi-database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Amazon Aurora support
  • Lock wait analysis: identify APAC queries causing contention and blocking
  • Alert integration: PagerDuty and Slack for APAC DBA on-call notification
When to reach for it

Best for

  • APAC DBA and platform engineering teams who need complete query-level database performance visibility without sampling, correlated with APAC application deployments for rapid root cause analysis.
Don't get burned

Limitations to know

  • ! SaaS platform — APAC query data transmitted to SolarWinds cloud (consider for PII/sovereignty)
  • ! Agent per APAC database instance — operational overhead for large APAC fleet
  • ! Pricing per monitored APAC host — costs scale with database instance count
Context

About SolarWinds DPM (VividCortex)

SolarWinds Database Performance Monitor (formerly VividCortex) is a database observability platform that captures every query executed against APAC database instances — without sampling — and correlates query performance with application deployments and infrastructure changes. Unlike traditional APM database integrations that sample 1-10% of queries and miss infrequent but expensive APAC queries, VividCortex captures the complete APAC query workload.

VividCortex's agent-based approach connects to APAC MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Amazon Aurora databases, streaming query metrics (execution time, rows examined, lock waits, execution count) to the SolarWinds SaaS platform for storage and analysis. APAC DBAs use the Query Profiler to identify which specific APAC queries are consuming the most cumulative database time — often a query executing in 50ms but called 50,000 times per minute contributes more to APAC database load than a single 2-second query.

The deployment annotation feature lets APAC teams overlay code deployments, configuration changes, and infrastructure events on database performance graphs — enabling rapid root cause analysis when APAC database performance degrades after a release. VividCortex integrates with PagerDuty and Slack for APAC DBA alerting when query latency or error rates exceed thresholds.
