Database Monitoring (New Relic)

====================================================================================

What is New Relic?

In the context of MySQL, New Relic provides monitoring and performance management capabilities through its Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Infrastructure Monitoring features. 

  • Monitor Query Performance: Track the execution time, throughput, and response times of MySQL queries. Identify slow queries and potential bottlenecks affecting application performance.

  • Transaction Tracing: Trace individual transactions from your application through to MySQL database interactions. This helps pinpoint which parts of your application are causing database load or delays.

  • Database Errors: Capture and alert on MySQL database errors that occur during application operations.

Benefits of Using New Relic with MySQL

  • Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve MySQL query performance issues that impact application responsiveness and user experience.

  • Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose and troubleshoot database-related problems such as slow queries or database errors affecting application functionality.

  • Capacity Planning: Forecast MySQL server resource requirements based on historical performance data and trends monitored by New Relic.

  • End-to-End Visibility: Gain comprehensive insights into the entire application stack, from front-end application performance to backend MySQL database operations.
