🔗 Advanced Ecto for Elixir monitoring with AppSignal

In our previous article, we explored the basics of monitoring Ecto with AppSignal, covering everything from initial setup to tracking key metrics such as query execution time and resource consumption. We even set up custom instrumentation for database connection pools to gain deeper insights into our application's performance. However, setting up monitoring is just the first step toward maintaining a healthy, high-performing Elixir application. The real power comes from knowing what to do with all that data.

In this second part of our Ecto monitoring series, we'll take your monitoring strategy to the next level. We'll explore how to establish meaningful baseline metrics, set up intelligent alerts that notify you of issues before they affect users, and implement robust exception monitoring to catch database problems early.
