Maintain the health and performance of your database by monitoring the volume of
database transactions and average response time through Application Insights.

You can detect anomalies and database performance issues by monitoring the database graphs on
the Session Info tab.

Use the database graphs to monitor the following metrics:

* Average response time
* Volume of transactions by analyzing database throughput

{#monitoring-database-performance__ul_vk5_5rw_r5b}

You access the graphs by navigating to AllApplication InsightsApplication InsightsSession Info.

* Look for spikes that indicate delays in response time for each type of database operation (deletes, inserts, updates, and selects) in the Average Database Response Time graph. View a list of database transactions by selecting a data point in the spike, and then look for outliers in the response time. Review the source record to see whether the transaction can be optimized.
* Look for spikes or periods of heavy usage for each type of database operation (deletes,
  inserts, updates, and selects) in the Database Throughput graph. View a
  list of database transactions by selecting a data point in the spike, and then look for
  outliers in SQL count and response time. Review the source record to see whether you can
  optimize the transaction.
