Server Version: 1.43.3.10861  
Synology DS 220+ with DSM 7.3.2

Can anyone point me towards methods to monitor, clean, or repair databases that are used on a Synology NAS? I see the Plex support article on repairing databases, but it appears the article is outdated as the SQLite Tool is nowhere to be found within my current install.

It’s still there. You probably haven’t found it, as it’s located in the app folder of Plex, which isn’t easily accessible on Syno’s.
