See how easy it is to connect DPA to SAM and other Orion console products. Explore database troubleshooting using the Orion Platform.

There isn’t a magical solution to the challenges that DBAs face on a daily basis. Instead, you need to become proficient in the use of a number of different tools to achieve your aims. In this roundtable, SolarWinds Head Geek Kevin Kline is joined with Megan Longoria and Jon Moore to discuss the evolution of tools for the accidental and seasoned DBA alike. The panel will discuss tools of the past, their favorite new tools, and overall, why you need database monitoring and operation tools.

Continuing the discussion from the previous THWACK Livecast about letting the Orion® Platform products automate your work, we’ll be stepping away from the web console and start digging into the SolarWinds Orion Application Programming Interface (API). The power of the Orion API is in its flexibility. If you want to unmanage or mute devices to coincide with your change management windows, or do bulk actions on devices, or even add devices to monitoring from nothing more than an IP address, it can be done with the API.
