On a secure cluster you must be an admin user to access this area of the DB Console. See DB Console security.
The Databases page of the DB Console provides details of the following:
- The databases configured.
- The tables in each database and the indexes on each table.
- The grants assigned to each role and user.
- Index recommendations.
To view this page, access the DB Console and click Databases in the left-hand navigation.
Index recommendations
New in v22.2: The Databases, table details, and index details pages show recommendations to drop indexes based on index usage. You can traverse the Databases page and Tables view to determine which indexes have recommendations.
To configure the threshold for when CockroachDB will recommend that you drop an index due to low usage, change the sql.index_recommendation.drop_unused_duration cluster setting. The default value is 7 days.
Databases
The Databases page shows:
- Whether automatic statistics collection is enabled for the cluster.
- A list of the databases on the cluster.
The following information is displayed for each database:
| Column | Description |

| Databases | The name of the database. |
| Size | Approximate disk size across all table replicas in the database. |
| Tables | The number of tables in the database. |
| Range Count | The number of ranges across all tables in the database. |
