Slow SQL queries can cripple your Spring Boot application. Monitoring SQL performance is essential to keep your app running smoothly, and tools like Spring Boot Actuator, Hibernate Statistics, and Micrometer make it easier.
This guide explains how to set up these tools, monitor key metrics (e.g., query times, connection pool usage), and optimize your database performance effectively.
Spring Boot Actuator makes it easier to monitor SQL performance by tracking metrics like query execution times and connection pool usage.
Key Actuator Endpoints for SQL Metrics are /metrics(endpoint is crucial for monitoring SQL-related data, including query execution times, connection pool activity, and database latency)
Hibernate Statistics and Micrometer make it easier to monitor SQL performance by tracking query execution, cache usage, and resource consumption.
Tools like Micrometer can help fine-tune your connection pool settings based on real-time load.
Effective monitoring goes beyond data collection - it’s about acting on the insights gathered.
