All our DBA Pro clients have access to Database Rx®, a service that provides secure, automated monitoring and analysis of your Oracle databases. Along with our DBA Pro team, you and your staff can use Database Rx to receive real-time notification of performance, stability, and scalability issues before they compromise database performance or result in expensive downtime. Database Rx also provides management reporting for capacity planning, performance tracking, and configuration management.

How it works
The Database Rx agent, which you install on your database server, is lightweight and non-invasive. It acts as a collector to gather and upload performance data to the Database Rx Performance Portal for processing. You schedule when the agent runs. (We recommend a basic “ping” every five minutes and full performance data collection once every hour.) Data received at the Performance Portal is analyzed immediately and alerts are created based on detected problems or issues that could lead to problems. You control when alerts generate alpha-pages, email messages, or no notification at all. You can easily customize alert notifications and share responsibility among your database group.

A proactive approach
Database Rx reviews the general health of your database and recommends proactive activities and courses of action to help you manage your database. It also organizes activities based on priority, which helps your team avoid outages and plan their time. The built-in recommendations have been developed by the most senior Oracle DBAs on our team, and they provide a short-cut to learning for junior staff.

Database Rx Performance Portal
This central repository allows you to review current and past alerts and access reports from any location. Multiple users can share access to common databases for a team environment. The Performance Portal also allows you to compare historical data to aid in capacity planning, budgeting, anticipating future demands on your system, and detecting trends. It also provides a history of configuration changes. All data collected by the instance monitoring agent is available for 12 months, along with all alerts history. HTTPS and password protection keep your data secure.
