Datadog Database Monitoring for Microsoft SQL Server and Azure database platforms includes the following features:

• Valuable Query Metrics: View metrics such as average latency, total execution time and number of rows queried in order to identify problematic queries and use historical query performance data to track long-term trends.
• Explain Plan Analysis: Visualize differences between multiple explain plans for individual queries to identify hotspots and seamlessly pivot from explain plans to related metrics in order to understand how inefficiencies impact performance.
• Centralized Query, Database and Infrastructure Metrics: View and monitor query-level and host-level metrics together to better understand how resource constraints affect database performance.
