The DB Guardian has an interface able to showing all database activities. It allows the mapping of the whole physical structure and logical of the database. Throughout this interface it is presented the current status of each database component. This is accomplished by combining flow, values and percentage information relevant to system's performance. By using this representation it is possible to discover performance problems (bottlenecks) related to the database quickly and intuitively. Another characteristic of this tool is the support for configuration of alerts and provide details of problems. The level of details can be obtained by a deep visualization of each of the areas presented in the graphical interface.
