Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and displaying database parameters and performance metrics is provided. The database parameters and performance metrics are displayed on a streaming ticker. The streaming ticker indicates when the parameters and performance metrics change and when the parameters and performance metrics are out of specified ranges. The streaming ticker includes hyperlinks to allow a user to receive additional information.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods of auditing database end user activity. The methods include extending a web application in order to tie a user of the web application to the user's web application login operation where the web application is coupled to a web application server that employs a connection pool for accessing a database. Extending the web application is carried out without modifying the web applications code. Existing application programming interfaces may be leveraged in carrying out the audit of database end user activity. All user database activity is monitored and associated with an individual user's login operation and an audit trail of the user's activity within the database is created.
