Abstract: Equipment, tools, systems, storage media, and methods that allow a user to monitor database storage at various granularities and set thresholds for generating alerts are described. In one aspect, a system includes a client device configured to execute an application, a database configured to support the client device, a storage array configured to provide information to the database, and a computing device. The computing device may execute a Database Storage Throughput Analyzer (DSTA) tool, specify an interval, specify a particular database cluster of the database, specify a service level objective for controlling communications between the database and the storage array, generate a query, receive storage throughput measurements for the database, and apply the query to the storage throughput measurements to aid users in identifying database storage issues.
