The record

Purpose: Database Center is an AI-assisted dashboard that gives users a centralized view of database fleet health issues and recommendations.
Health monitoring: It summarizes fleet health issues using data from Google Cloud projects and Security Command Center, and advises how to investigate affected projects or instances.
Inventory limits: BigQuery supports resource inventory monitoring, and Memorystore for Valkey supports resource inventory and metrics monitoring, but neither has health issue monitoring in Database Center.
Gemini: Gemini chat can answer questions about fleet health and provide customized recommendations based on Google Cloud projects.
Integrations: Gemini Cloud Assist provides select performance insights and recommendations, including query and index advice for Cloud SQL and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.
API: The Database Center API provides organization-wide, cross-product access to database fleet health information and has REST and RPC references.
Data freshness: Displayed data is not real time; it is usually updated within a few minutes but can take up to 24 hours.
Access controls: Access is managed with IAM permissions at the organization, folder, or project level; the viewer role grants access to instance metadata, not managed database contents.
Security monitoring: Security-related health issues require Security Command Center; Built-in enables basic issues, while Premium enables all health issues supported by Security Command Center.
Preview limitations: Database monitoring for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server on Compute Engine VMs is in Preview and may have limited support.
Intended users: Google identifies database platform teams and site reliability engineers as users who can use Database Center to identify compliance risks and help protect databases against downtime.
Availability: Database Center is accessible from the Google Cloud managed database services console and is enabled by default for users with the required IAM permissions.
