Datadog

Datadog Database Monitoring now automatically collects PostgreSQL EXPLAIN ANALYZE execution plans to help troubleshoot slow queries. The feature processes plans captured by PostgreSQL's auto_explain extension, correlates them with APM traces, and provides interactive visualizations. Key use cases include identifying incorrect row estimates that cause inefficient join strategies, and analyzing cache hits versus disk reads to determine whether performance issues stem from I/O bottlenecks or query optimization needs.
