VividCortex is a SaaS database performance monitoring platform, now part of SolarWinds and marketed as SolarWinds Database Performance Monitor (DPM). It uses lightweight per-host agents to capture and analyze every query executed against MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Amazon Aurora, and SQL Server workloads with sub-second, always-on visibility and minimal overhead. DPM surfaces query analysis, profiling, fault detection, adaptive alerting, and time-series metrics through a web application and a public REST API (v2) that exposes hosts, metrics and series data, observed queries and samples, timeline events, and alert configuration. VividCortex was acquired by SolarWinds in December 2019; this profile was surfaced as a portfolio company of Battery Ventures and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from the provider's live public documentation at docs.vividcortex.com.
