Database and operating system intelligence, without agents.
Prism correlates your operating system, database and process telemetry into root-cause intelligence, without installing a single agent on your monitored systems. Built for DBAs and system administrators.
Your tools show you numbers. Not answers.
Most monitoring tools collect the same metrics: CPU, memory, disk and wait times. They present them as dashboards, alerts and charts. But when Oracle is slow, the infrastructure team says it is the database and the DBA says it is the server, and none of those dashboards says who is right.
Your team spends hours chasing root cause across disconnected dashboards, correlating by hand and guessing.
Infrastructure and DBA teams each see their own metrics. Neither has the complete picture, so incidents turn into blame sessions.
Traditional monitoring wants an agent on every server. That means complex deployments, ongoing maintenance and production risk, just to collect basic metrics.
From raw metrics to root cause
A prism turns a single beam of light into a complete spectrum, revealing what was hidden inside. Prism does the same for the signals your servers and databases produce every minute, and turns them into correlated, actionable intelligence.
What other tools show
- CPU: 90%
- Memory: 82%
- Disk: busy
- Oracle: slow
- SQL Server: waiting
What Prism shows
- Oracle session 1458
- OS process 28761
- CPU spike at 94%
- Disk queue: 48 requests
- Temp files: /tmp/sort_8x
- 30 days of historical trend
- Root cause identified
Illustrative example.
What Prism covers
Agentless
Nothing is installed on the systems you monitor. Prism connects remotely using standard protocols, and monitored systems can be added or removed in seconds.
OS and database correlation
Links Oracle and SQL Server sessions directly to the OS processes consuming your infrastructure resources: CPU, disk I/O, memory and temp files.
1-minute collection
Every metric, process and database session is captured every 60 seconds, so a short spike or locking event still leaves a trace.
30-day process history
A month of process-level history: the exact processes that were running, what they consumed and the database sessions behind them.
One portable executable
One file and no installer. The collector runs on a Windows or Linux host and can move anywhere.
Read-only access
Read-only database connections and no elevated OS credentials on the systems you monitor.
Five steps from metric to root cause
Prism follows the path experienced engineers already take, and automates the correlation step that normally takes hours.
- Start at the metricBegin with the infrastructure signal that caught your attention.
- Drill to the processFind the process that is causing it.
- Link to the sessionSee the database session behind that process.
- Check the historyReview the trend for context.
- Name the root causeAct on evidence, not on a guess.
Where Prism earns its place
Incident root cause analysis
Oracle is slow and each team says it is not theirs. Prism opens the correlation view: the high-wait sessions, the OS processes behind them and the disk queue they are filling.
Post-incident forensics
Go back to 2:47 AM in the 30-day history and see every process and database session active at that moment, minute by minute, instead of speculating.
Capacity planning
Thirty days of process-level resource use shows which processes drive which resources, and when, so you add CPU, memory or storage on evidence.
MSP multi-client monitoring
One portable executable on your management host connects remotely to each client site, with no footprint on the client side.
