Introduction to monitoring databases

Monitor your databases with Grafana Cloud, from overall instance health to individual queries. Database integrations give you prebuilt dashboards, alerts, and database-level metrics across MongoDB, Redis, Memcached, Cassandra, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Database Observability goes deeper for MySQL and PostgreSQL, showing how every query performs and why. In this journey, you'll learn what each approach gives you, how to choose between them, and how to set them up hands-on.
