Query-level database observability for MySQL and PostgreSQL
Stop guessing why the database is slow. Grafana Cloud's Database Observability allows teams to go from high-level signals to normalized queries, visual explain plans, and wait events in seconds with built-in AI-powered recommendations.
Powered by Alloy and open standards.
Debug query latency with precision
Move beyond resource monitoring and visualize explain plans, wait events, and individual query samples. Go from aggregate patterns to the specific execution that caused the slowdown.
Connect SQL latency to infrastructure bottlenecks
Overlay query performance with CPU, memory, and disk I/O metrics to spot and resolve resource contention quickly.
Fix slow queries with AI-suggested DDL
Resolve query bottlenecks with AI-suggested CREATE INDEX statements and query rewrites. Copy, test, and ship improvements rapidly.
Trusted by everyone from startups to the Fortune 500
Contextualize database health
Correlate across the stack and see how database health impacts upstream services using the Entity Catalog and Knowledge Graph
Debug resource contention by overlaying query latency directly onto Cloud Provider metrics and system metrics to spot saturation instantly
Unify visualization with database and query metrics alongside your existing dashboards without context switching or proprietary data silos
Deep-dive diagnostics
Surface hidden bottlenecks. Filter queries by custom-defined labels, and sort by wait time, errors, or latency to isolate the exact problematic queries
Inspect execution internals with visual explain plans to understand costly operations (like full table scans) without logging into the CLI
Analyze query fingerprints with normalized query samples and execution metrics to detect regression patterns over time
Ship fixes with AI-generated DDL
Review actionable suggestions and specific recommendations for schema improvements and index optimization with built-in AI analysis and recommendations
Copy, test, and ship ready-to-run code for CREATE INDEX statements and query rewrites
Democratize query optimization, enabling developers to optimize and fix their own SQL performance
Set up with open standards
Deploy quickly with open tooling using Alloy’s built-in open source MySQL and PostgreSQL collection components. No proprietary agents required on your database servers
Connect any environment easily with support for self-managed databases, Amazon RDS and Aurora, Google CloudSQL, and Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL
Protect sensitive data automatically with SQL text redaction enabled at the collector level
Real stories from real customers
“One of [Grafana Cloud’s] main differentiators is the use of AI to generate valuable insights, enabling engineering teams to quickly identify root causes... without relying directly on a DBA. This provides greater autonomy for engineering [and] speeds up the investigation process.”
