The MySQL Network Monitoring/Advisor service is like an administrative assistant for your DBAs. It helps you monitor all your MySQL instances and insures that you are in compliance with best practice rules in the areas of Administration, Performance, Replication, Schema, and Security.

This talk will provide an architecture overview of the MySQL Network Monitoring/Advisor service components and will describe in depth how to use all of the MySQL Network services. Using the format of a live demo, you will learn:

• how to leverage the power of MySQL Network services in your environment
• how to set up data collection, build graphs, and analyze the data collected
• how to set up thresholds and alerts, and run rules that help automate the process of insuring that best practices are followed
• how to get best practice updates from MySQL
• how the Monitoring/Advisor Service interacts with other parts of the MySQL Network to increase your knowledge of installing, tuning, and running the MySQL database server.
