Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for service management in a distributed database environment. In general, embodiments of the present invention provide a service manager that connects to or is part of a database appliance that collects database performance data in the distributed database system. The database appliance accesses traffic between database clients and database servers and collects a variety of database performance statistics without having to rely on agents at the database clients or database servers. The service manager can access the performance data from the database appliance (locally or over communications link) and archive the performance data. Additionally, the service manager can compare items of the performance data (e.g., specific performance statistics) to user defined thresholds. If a threshold is met, the service manager can notify a user by, for example, sending an email.
