Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

For complete instructions on starting a DPA instance, please follow this link for more information: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/kbloader.aspx?kb=MT2494

Once you verify in the EC2 console that your AMI EC2 instance is running, launch DPA by opening a browser and entering this URL: http://<Your_Public_DNS> (for example: http://ec2-54-175-249-214.compute-1.amazonaws.com ).

You can copy and paste <Your_Public_DNS> from your EC2 console. The initial DPA password will be your EC2 instance_id, which you can get also from your EC2 console. When you log in to DPA for the first time, you will be asked to: 1) Create a DPA repository. 2) Agree to the EULA. 3) Select a default timezone. Then you can then start registering databases for monitoring.

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

Simple to set up with command line, powershell module makes it easier for adding targets, managing them, conditions are directly exported. You just need to create yours additionally. Variety of actions, using powershell as an action is a big plus.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is a room for improvement of performance monitoring
Sometimes, checking top sql can be complicated, just because of the gui.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Sentryone as a monitoring system, we monitor our databases, and set actions. Like send mail, execute powershell
For example when a sql service is down, sentryone detects it and execute a powershell on target and starts the service.
When there is failover, we use again send mail condition to create Pagerduty calls for DBA who is on call.
Other than this, we also monitor blockings and deadlocks, performance issues with certain queries etc.
