This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. You can process personal data for this feature as outlined in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, subject to the obligations and restrictions described in the agreement under which you access Google Cloud.

Database Center lets you filter and prioritize health issues to understand, triage, and manage database issues across your entire database fleet, helping you identify key recommendations to address. For more information, see Database health issues.

Before you begin

• Ensure that Database Center is set up for your organization.

Find important health issues

To view the issues and recommendations for your fleet, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Database Center page.

   Go to Database Center

2. In the navigation menu, click Health issues.

3. Use one or more filtering tools described in this document to identify key health issues.

When you open the View health and recommendations page, health issues are sorted by priority by default.

Note: Industry compliance health issues don't appear in the Health issues page in the Google Cloud console. However, you can view industry compliance health issues on the Resources page. For more information, see Filter database resources.

Filter health issues by database resources

To narrow the list of issues, you can filter health issues by the following:

• Database products and versions
• Regions
• Labels
• Tags
• Google Cloud projects, if you select a folder or organization in the Open project picker in the Google Cloud console.

To filter health issues by database resources, do the following on the View health and recommendations page or the Database Center Overview page:

1. From the drop-down in the Google Cloud console menu bar, select a database scope—for example, a Google Cloud project, folder, or organization.

2. Optional: To add up to 10 custom label or tag filters, click Add label/tag filters and follow the instructions in the pane that opens.

3. Select the products and versions, regions, and label and tag filters you want to apply to your dashboard. After you make your selection in a filter drop-down, click OK.

4. Optional: To choose your column display options, click .

Use insight cards

The cards at the top of the page provide insights into health issues in your database fleet. For example, one card shows how many high priority health issues affect your fleet.

To see the issues referenced on a card, click View all. Some cards, such as the one that shows how many new issues appeared in the last seven days, don't have this option.

Use filter tabs

Click one of the tabs to refine the health issues that appear in the table. For example, you can do the following:

• Click Priority and then select the priorities to display in the table.

• Click Issue category and then select the issue categories you care about most.

• Click Implications and then select one or more implications to learn which health issues share the same implications.

Understand the issues

The issues table provides details about each issue. The table includes the following columns:

• Priority: The priority of the health issue. Priority values are Critical, High, Medium, or Low. Issues are sorted by priority by default. Click the Priority column header to change the sorting direction.

• Issue category: The category of the issue, such as Data protection or Security. For more information, see Health issue categories.

• Product: The product associated with the resource, such as Cloud SQL.

• Issue: A description of the issue. Click the issue description to learn more.

• Resource: The name of the affected database resource. Click the resource name to learn more about the resource.

• Location: The region where the resource with the health issue is located.

• Project: The project that contains the health issue.

• Recommendation: The suggested solution for the health issue.

• Other actions: Additional information or solutions for the health issue.

• Implications: The consequences of implementing the recommendation, such as a required instance restart.
