Features / Database monitoring
Database monitoring
Halvyn connects to your database the way your app does and runs a real health check, so you hear about exhausted connections or lagging replicas before your users do.
What Halvyn checks
- PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Redis and MongoDB
- Your own health query with an expected result
- Connection usage as a percentage of the server maximum
- Replication lag in seconds
- Slow-response (degraded) threshold
Common uses
- Primary production databases
- Read replicas
- Redis caches and queues
- Managed cloud databases
Included with every monitor
One incident per outage
Repeated failures roll into a single incident with a timeline, instead of a flood of duplicate alerts.
Blip recheck
A failed check is re-run within the same cycle before it counts, and an incident opens only after consecutive failures — a single network blip never pages anyone.
Escalation until acknowledged
Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, webhooks, SMS, voice calls and on-call rotations — with one-click acknowledge links in every alert.
Incident management
Investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved states, assignees, comments, SLA timers per severity and postmortems.
Public status pages
Uptime bars, live incidents and manual updates on a page you can put on your own domain.
Maintenance windows
Checks keep running during planned work but alerts stay quiet, so your history stays complete.
SLOs and monthly SLA reports
Track objectives per monitor and email an uptime report to owners every month.
Flat pricing
Every check type on every paid plan, one price per plan — no per-host, per-check or per-feature metering.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it safe to give Halvyn database credentials?
- Connection strings are encrypted at rest, and we recommend a read-only user limited to the health query. Halvyn only connects to publicly reachable database endpoints.
