Unpopular take incoming ... but I find DataDog useless. I’m biased as I’m a DBA and comprehensive workload metrics are what I need, but the broad use of DataDog or AppDynamics or NewRelic really do data layer performance monitoring a tremendous disservice. Good luck for Cisco that they were shot down.
- yourapostasy 7y agoWhat do you use as a DBA? I see some DBA's turn to Toad, but I'm not a domain expert in that direction so I don't know what the go-to's are these days. Anecdotal: one of my teammates used AppDynamics to track down that our Oracle DBA didn't enable the fix for the LOB extent allocation bug (#6376915) in our 12c database, which manifested as an application performance issue and the DBA team insisted there was nothing wrong on the Oracle layer. I'm thus interested in what DBA's use to monitor so I can better monitor the databases I rely upon myself.
