Would love this feature, in a big need for setting up an alert to keep my database connections in place.

I think its a bit of a hassle to scrape it myself and set another alerting solution just for these basic database alerting capabilities. Although I understand, that these metrics are specific for every type of managed database, that you guys are supporting (or maybe not? is there something that could be general for every database?)

For more advanced usecases I would consider scraping.

Do you have any of these basic database metric alerting features planned on your roadmap Daniel Weinshenker ? Or is it something that is not a priority yet?

Thanks for your answer in advance!

Best Regards,

Hi Aleksei Belostotskii, while we don't have this ability in our API, we recently introduced scrapable metrics for most of our database engines: https://www.digitalocean.com/blog/digitalocean-scrapable-metrics-for-postgresql-mysql-redis-kafka

This allows you to consume the raw metrics from the cluster itself (prometheus style metrics) and utilize more advanced alerting queries on them.
