How does Dynatrace identify unique monitored database services?

Dynatrace identifies unique monitored database services primarily by considering the combination of name, vendor, and IP address/port. This approach allows the platform to accurately distinguish between different database instances, even if they are hosted on the same server or exhibit similar characteristics. Each database service is expected to have unique properties based on these identifiers, which aids in monitoring, management, and providing insights into performance and transactions specific to that database.

By focusing on the name, vendor, and connection details such as IP address and port, Dynatrace can effectively map the service interactions and provide detailed monitoring capabilities. This is essential for ensuring that data is attributed correctly to each database, enabling finer granularity in performance analysis and fault detection, which ultimately helps in maintaining optimal database performance and reliability.
