Howdy Kathleen,
curious with the work you guys are trying if its possible to be a guinea pig. I would absolutely love some of those metrics.
Thank you for the response. We are always open to people looking to help test out and give us feedback. I will keep in touch!
Kathy
Thanks, would greatly appreciate it.
I have two suggestions that would be of tremendous value to our company:
1) Today if there were a question whether Ignite sent an email or a trap, we would have no documentation that would assure what actions were taken. It would be great if, like in SQL Agent, there were a list of actions taken and any errors in taking an action listed. That way we could demonstrate that an email was sent or a trap was generated.
2) If we upgrade a server to a new instance, there is a transition period where we do not wish to monitor the instance but where we may need to reactivate it or we may need to access the history of its monitoring (for a before-and-after comparison). However, the current options for leaving the monitor in place cause problems for our alerting process. If we leave the monitor on, we will generate instance availability alerts that are false. If we turn it off, we have no way of showing that this was done on purpose and monitor-the-monitor processes will see it as a problem and alert falsely. It would be nice if instead of just on and off, there were a third status of "archived" or "decommissioned" to show that the instance is off, but is off on purpose and can safely be ignored by monitor-the-monitor or in the GUI.
Nice ideas augustinius. I've added a feature requests for you.

Kathleen,
How do customers submit feature request? Is this appropriate forum? I have used Ignite for years, and have just recently received funding at my current company to purchase DPA.
jbfultz - You can submit a feature request here: Database Performance Analyzer Feature Requests
On the right side you'll see the option to "create an idea" underneath the Actions menu.
Hey! add me.
An operational dashboard for AlwaysOn Availability Groups. We use the dashboards within SSMS however it would be nice to see this information available within Ignite/DBA as well.
I created the request for you for this at http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/4058
Thank you
Hi, Kathleen, in the Storage I/O Performance Statistics ( I/O latency and throughput) , we will have by drive, for example I/O latency for drive c:\; d:\;f:\ ...?
The current version is relying on Tomcat 6, which has a number of vulnerabilities.
Will the next version rely on a newer, more secure version of Tomcat ?
Same question about Apache and JQuery.
Hi,
We are expecting to add newer versions of tomcat to the latest release. More information to come on this, stay tuned
Hi.
Here is a good overview from our beta posts. Let me know if you have any further questions!!
Announcing Beta for Database Performance Analyzer (DPA)
Hi Kathleen, I'd be interested in having the ability to drill down by database, machine, user across a time period instead of within a time period. For instance, seeing only the performance information for a single database,user,machine over a day, hour, etc. In the current setup, it's challenging to try to determine the differences in performance over a specific time frame for these items since the charts get skewed by all of the other items in the list. Let me know your thoughts or if I should provide further clarification.
Hi
I added this as a feature request that other users can vote on.

Thanks for the feedback!!
Hi layfnatu2,
We'd be happy to discuss any questions you have or the capabilities of DPA. Please reach out to us at support@confio.com.
Hi Kathleen, can we have any information about when the new version is planned to go out ?
Hi Kathleen,
Does your not answering mean that we cannot have any information about when the new version is planned to go out ?
About the Tomcat version that will be used, still no information either ?
Thanks in anticipation for your answer.
Hi Christine.
I can give you some more information. I notice you are a customer of Database Performance Analyzer on thwack. I will take this offline and contact you.
Hi Kathy,
What happened to EBS modules the ignite8 had, I don't see visible in DPA. I see no reason to upgrade without this feature.
Hi Joe,
This list above is just for the what we are working. EBS support is still in Ignite/DPA. You have to either turn it on when registering an instance or turn it on for an instance in the advanced options (search for ORACLE_ERP)
Kathy,
Thank you for the quick reply!! I will check as advised.

Has 9.0 been released?
It has! You can download it from your customer portal or a trial from solarwinds.com.
Interesting. Our downloads section is only showing 9.0 for DPA - SQL Server 9.0.146 with a link to the actual 9.0 download.
The DPA 9.0 links for DB2, Oracle and Sybase all take you to the 8.3.407 download.
Use the download from the SQL Server link then - they are all the same bits. We'll let the appropriate authorities know about the links pointing to the previous bits. 8 )
