Many applications and websites depend on a MySQL database. If the database experiences a problem, the website will be rendered incorrectly, or the application will stop working. MySQL monitoring is therefore an important part of network monitoring.

MySQL Monitoring is Easy With PRTG

PRTG Network Monitor comes with a built-in native sensor for MySQL monitoring. It checks whether the MySQL database server accepts connections and processes requests, and whether it returns an expected result when executing a custom MySQL command.

If one or more of the checks fail, an alarm is instantly triggered. This way, MySQL monitoring enables you to take swift action to resolve the problem: not only does monitoring your MySQL databases quickly inform you of database issues, but thanks to the comprehensive MySQL monitoring data provided by PRTG, it will also help you identify the cause of the problem.
