MySQL Database(DB) Service is a widely used relational database management system. MySQL DB offers a freely downloadable Community Edition and commercial editions with added features and support.

Use the Observe MySQL app to get out-of-the-box visibility into the overall health of your MySQL DB instances. This app helps you answer questions such as the following:

  • What is the throughput volume? Does it seem normal?
  • Is the database query performance healthy? Are there high latency or error rates?
  • Are the database instances reaching their connection limits? Are they returning connection errors?

The MySQL app installs the following datasets by default:

  • Error Logs
  • General Logs
  • Instance
  • Log Events
  • Metrics
  • Slow Query Logs
  • Telegraf Events

The MySQL app ingests data using Fluentbit and Telegraf to collect MySQL logs and metrics. See Install the MySQL app to install the app and configure data collection.
