Register a database instance for monitoring with DPA

Options for registering database instances include:

• Register multiple instances with the mass registration feature
• Register individual instances with a wizard
• Automate registration with the API

For more information about the database instances you can monitor, see Database instances DPA can monitor.

If the database instance runs on a virtual machine (VM), you can monitor VM performance data by registering the VMware ESX/ESXi Host or vCenter Server that the VM runs on.
