database-observability
Set up Grafana Cloud Database Observability for MySQL and PostgreSQL — enables `pg_stat_statements` / Performance Schema, creates a least-privilege monitoring user, configures the `database_observability.postgres` / `database_observability.mysql` Alloy components, ships query samples + visual explain plans + RED metrics + schema details to Grafana Cloud, and correlates slow queries with application traces via `db.statement` / `db.system` OTel attributes. Use when monitoring database performance, diagnosing slow queries, setting up DB observability for RDS / Aurora / Cloud SQL / Azure Database / self-managed instances, correlating DB metrics with APM, or alerting on query latency — even when the user says "my database is slow", "find the slow queries", or "monitor RDS" without saying "observability".

Grafana Cloud Database Observability Docs: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/database-observability/ Query-level insights (RED metrics, query samples, explain plans) for MySQL and PostgreSQL without application code changes. GA since April 2026. Common Workflows PostgreSQL Add the Alloy config block from references/alloy-config.md § PostgreSQL Restart Alloy and wait 60s for first scrape Verify in Grafana Cloud → Database Observability — the instance should appear with non-empty dbquerytotal{dbinstance="mydb"} series. If empty after 2 minutes: check Alloy logs for connection errors, then re-verify pgstatstatements permissions.
