What is Your Situation?How do you know your website is down?





How do you know your website is down?

❖The users will let me know

❖That's somebody else's problem❖Our site is never down❖ Email/SMS/Pager

Is this you?





You have a performance problem now?

❖How long has it been happening?

❖ Is it a new problem or a re-occurring problem?❖Has it gradually become worse over time?

Is this you?



When did you last recover from a backup?

❖We need to think about doing backups

❖We use MySQL replication❖That's somebody else's problem❖We verify our backups worked (not recovery)

Is this you?



Goal





Four Goals to take away

Monitoring a MySQL Server(s)

❖Know what to monitor❖Know how you can monitor

❖ Learn practices to diagnose problems❖Have a foundation of historical information
