MySQL monitoring integration
Our MySQL integration collects and sends inventory and metrics from your MySQL database to our platform, where you can see the health of your database server and analyze metric data so that you can easily find the source of any problems.
To get the most out of this page, select the installation method that fits your environment. You need a New Relic account to finish the installation process.
