Spotlight on SQL Server

Spotlight® on MySQL diagnoses MySQL problems in real time by graphically displaying all database activity in an intuitive user interface, so you can respond to issues in record time. With this MySQL monitoring tool, you can drill down to locate in-depth information on the source of a performance issue. And because the run-time nature of your MySQL databases is unique, Spotlight calibrates itself to a baseline of normal database activity. This allows Spotlight to automatically establish the speed of the internal flows and other activity indicators. When a threshold is met, it sends visual or audible alerts.

• Visual Representations— Observe MySQL database activity, including process flows and configuration settings in real time from a single display.
• Rapid Problem Detection— Identify performance bottlenecks and problem areas in complex data-sharing environments using flows, graphs, and visual icons.
• Audible and Visual Alarms— Receive alerts when key metric thresholds are triggered, so you can prevent issues from impacting end users.
• Quick Diagnosis— Review essential details of problem areas for faster diagnosis.
• In-Depth Drilldowns — See operating system metrics like CPU, I/O, memory, and processes.
