Metrics & logs
Live CPU, memory, and connection metrics, plus a slow-query log.
Every database ships with live observability — no separate monitoring tool to wire up.
Live metrics
The database's Metrics tab streams:
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Active connection count
These update in real time, so you can watch the effect of a deploy, a migration, or a traffic spike as it happens rather than reconstructing it from a dashboard that only refreshes every few minutes.
Slow-query log
Queries that cross a duration threshold are recorded with their execution time. Instead of a vague sense that "the database feels slow," you get the actual query text and how long it took — the difference between guessing and knowing what to optimize.
Server logs
The database engine's own logs (connection events, errors, startup output) are available in the Logs tab, streamed the same way your app's logs are.
Watching connection count
If you're intermittently hitting a connection limit, the live connection count is the first thing to check — it tells you whether the problem is genuinely too many concurrent connections (worth pooling) or something else entirely (a query taking long enough to look like exhaustion).
