All our agents will instrument queries to your database from the application. It will measure the time each query takes and a few other things, but what goes on inside the database while the query is performed is not instrumented by Elastic APM. Will that cover your use-case, or do you want to monitor the database it self in more detail? ---

Btw, each agent supports a specific list of databases. The list varies a bit between agents, but you can see each of the lists for Node.js, Java and Go here: - Node.js: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/compatibility.html#compatibility-tracing-and-instrumentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/nodejs/current/compatibility.html#compatibility-tracing-and-instrumentation) - Java: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html#supported-databases](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html#supported-databases) - Go: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/go/current/supported-tech.html#supported-tech-databases](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/go/current/supported-tech.html#supported-tech-databases) ---

Hi Wa7son, so if i install the node.js agent, i'm going to have information about but from what you say, i can take the time of the query but i cannot see the what is inside the query, but how i identify one query of the other? it's shows an id or the query itself? Module Version Note cassandra-driver elasticsearch-js graphql handlebars ioredis mongodb-core mongodb mongojs mongoose mysql pg tedious yes i want to monitor details about the databases and maybe there is more types of databases about maybe oracle and something like that ---

The Node.js agent currently does not support Oracle. There's [an open issue](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-nodejs/issues/531) for it that I suggest you add a +1 on so that we know that more people want this 🙂 If you use one of our supported databases, our agents will also show you the query that was performed and from where in your code the query was called. Say you use the `pg` module to query PostgreSQL and your Node.js code looks like so: ```javascript const sql = 'INSERT INTO users(name, email) VALUES($1, $2) RETURNING *' const values = ['brianc', 'brian.m.carlson@gmail.com'] client.query(sql, values, (err, res) => { ... }) ``` The span will have a stack trace pointing to the `client.query(...)` line and it will also contain the value of the `sql` argument. The `values` are not recorded for privacy reasons. ---
