0bbd64743c docs: move inspect and advisors into observability (#49503)
<!-- CURSOR_AGENT_PR_BODY_BEGIN -->
## Stack

Draft stack extracted from `docs/monitoring`. Merge bottom-up.
Troubleshooting / debugging-guide rewrite is out of scope.

1. **#49503** move inspect and advisors ← **this PR**
2. #49501 split Studio logs from ClickHouse queries
3. #49500 treat reports as signal dashboards
4. #49502 add Observe the data hub
5. #49506 add agent setup components
6. #49504 add hire-an-agent templates
7. #49505 restructure observability nav and overview

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update. First layer in the observability stack.

## What is the current behavior?

Inspect and advisors live under Database (`/guides/database/inspect`,
`/guides/database/database-advisors`). Observability readers have to
leave the monitoring section to find them.

## What is the new behavior?

- Moves inspect into `/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/inspect`
- Adds `/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/advisors` (replaces the
Database Advisors page)
- Adds redirects and updates Studio/docs links so old URLs keep working
- Adds both pages to the existing Monitoring nav so they are
discoverable before the later IA PR

## Additional context

Inspect and advisors pages render as standard MDX. Redirects cover
`/docs/guides/database/inspect`,
`/docs/guides/database/database-advisors`, and
`/docs/guides/database/database-linter`. Debugging-guide content is
unchanged except the inspect URL.

## Self-review

- No leftover `/guides/database/inspect` or
`/guides/database/database-advisors` links in docs guides or Studio
linter/AI surfaces (historical blog posts left as-is)
- Smoke test path updated to
`/docs/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/advisors`

description: 'Deterministic security and performance findings you or an agent can pull as part of ongoing observability.'
---
Advisors are programmatic checks that ship with the platform. They inspect the live schema and return deterministic findings, such as missing indexes or incorrectly configured RLS policies.
Use them as part of ongoing observability, together with [logs](/docs/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/advanced-log-filtering). A finding is not a fix. Confirm it against recent log evidence, then search [troubleshooting](/docs/guides/troubleshooting) for the check name or the object it names.
You or an agent can pull the same checks from:
- Studio: [Security Advisor](/dashboard/project/_/advisors/security) and [Performance Advisor](/dashboard/project/_/advisors/performance)
- MCP: `get_advisors`
- CLI: [`supabase db advisors`](/docs/reference/cli/supabase-db-advisors)
- Management API: [security advisors](/docs/reference/api/v1-get-security-advisors) and [performance advisors](/docs/reference/api/v1-get-performance-advisors)
The advisors run automatically in Studio. Rerun them after you resolve an issue.
