Which databases can be monitored by Dynatrace using JDBC?

Dynatrace has robust capabilities for monitoring applications and their underlying databases through various protocols, including JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). JDBC is primarily used for connecting Java applications with relational databases, but it can also interact with certain NoSQL databases that support connectable JDBC drivers, making it versatile.

By supporting both SQL and NoSQL databases through JDBC, Dynatrace can provide comprehensive monitoring solutions that include performance metrics, query statistics, and error tracking across different types of database systems. SQL databases, which are traditionally supported by JDBC, encompass relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. Conversely, NoSQL databases, like MongoDB or Cassandra, may not natively use JDBC, but can be monitored if they have JDBC drivers available.

This capability allows Dynatrace to effectively perform monitoring in diverse environments where applications may utilize different database technologies, thereby ensuring holistic visibility into application performance, regardless of the underlying database architecture.
