MySQL Monitoring Two Ways

Monitor MySQL with zero instrumentation using eBPF wire protocol analysis to capture every query, OR use direct connection for detailed InnoDB metrics, replication status, and performance statistics. Choose what works best for you.

Complete MySQL Observability

Monitor every aspect of MySQL performance with zero configuration

Zero-Config MySQL Monitoring

Automatically discover and monitor all MySQL instances without installing agents or providing credentials

Query Performance Insights

See every query with execution time, rows examined, and full EXPLAIN plans via wire protocol analysis

InnoDB Metrics & Buffer Pool

Monitor buffer pool hit ratios, page reads/writes, row operations, and lock waits in real-time

Connection Pool Analysis

Track active connections, thread states, max connections usage, and connection errors

Replication Monitoring

Monitor replication lag, slave status, binlog position, and GTID consistency automatically

Slow Query Detection

Identify slow queries instantly with automatic query fingerprinting and optimization suggestions

How MySQL Monitoring Works

1

Configure Connection

Add your MySQL connection details (host, port, username, password) to HyperObserve's configuration. The collector uses a maximum of 2 connections.

2

Direct Database Queries

HyperObserve executes SHOW GLOBAL STATUS, SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES, and SHOW SLAVE STATUS commands to gather comprehensive metrics directly from MySQL.

3

Calculate & Report Metrics

Metrics are calculated from MySQL status variables: QPS from Questions/Uptime, buffer hit ratio from InnoDB counters, and replication lag from slave status.

What We Monitor

Queries per second (QPS) calculation
Transactions per second tracking
Slow query counter monitoring
InnoDB deadlock detection
Buffer pool hit ratio (actual calculation)
Query cache hit ratio
Connection pool metrics (active/idle/max)
Replication lag monitoring (SHOW SLAVE STATUS)
Query breakdown by type (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE)
Temporary disk table creation tracking

Start Monitoring MySQL in 5 Minutes

No agents, no credentials, no query logs. Just instant visibility.
