What Is Database Activity Monitoring (DAM)?

Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) is like a little ninja. It's there, but you don't always know it's there. And even when you do know it's there, sometimes it seems like it's not doing anything useful at all—but it's still working hard to make sure that the database is secure and running smoothly. A DBAs can find out what is happening inside their databases, even if they are not there, by using DAM to see it with their own eyes. It's like having a camera installed in your computer—but unlike a camera, DAM can tell you what happened before you walked in front of it.
