Learn how to use the web recorder to set up a transaction you want to monitor with SolarWinds® Pingdom®. Pingdom transaction monitoring helps you quickly find and fix issues with critical site flows and ensure everything is running smoothly.

The RESTful API for Database Performance Analyzer is an incredible time-saver if you are working in an environment where databases go in and out of production. You can easily hook a pre-existing automation job directly into the RESTful API and you'll be monitoring the database in moments. In this video, we'll show you how to get to the self-documented API and what you need to send a command or two.

AppOptics removes the divide between application and infrastructure health metrics.

Reports are among one of the most powerful and ubiquitous aspects of the Orion Platform. Despite being right at people's fingertips, they're often overlooked or under-appreciated as a tool to provide robust insight and monitoring awareness. Part of that might be due to users not feeling comfortable with the process of building reports. In this episode of SolarWinds Lab, Head Geek Chrystal Taylor will go back to the basics with you -- covering the process of building a report and showing all of the incredible features standard in the web-based report writer. Then, she'll take it a step further, showing some of the more sophisticated results you can get with just a few simple options.
