Be proactive and productive with dbWatch Control Center

Whether you are an Oracle, SQL, PostgreSQL, or MySQL DBA, you never know what you will be called upon to deal with next.  

As an example: There is an incident when your backup jobs are not working as usual; you being the DBA, immediately check the error log to determine what caused the issue.   

You discovered that the disk where your backups are stored was already full. To avoid this from happening again, you created a retention history for your backup jobs to remove backups greater than the maximum retention period (in days).  

These are some of the tasks a DBA does – but imagine having fifty databases or hundreds or more. Will your usual routine of checking your databases one by one is effective?  

To be a productive DBA, you should utilize specialized solutions that will help you automate the routine tasks you do daily. By being proactive, you can focus more on other critical tasks. 

How can dbWatch Control Center (CC) help you to be a proactive and productive DBA?
