Overview

The blixx Smart Plug-in (SPI) for MySQL Databases enables professional monitoring and problem detection for the MySQL database instances. The SPI adds MySQL database monitoring and management capabilities to the HP OpenView Operations products.

With MySQL databases used more and more in productive environments, it becomes a key requirement to effectively manage and monitor these databases. The SPI for MySQL Databases integrates its performance and event detection features with HP OpenView Operations for Unix and the HP OpenView Operations for Windows.

It can help to optimize business processes in the IT department, to proactively prevent problem situations, to pin-point problems and even to identify future performance behaviors based on the historical performance data.

The SPI for MySQL Databases monitors the state and throughput of the database instances and physical resources related to the database such as disks and memory. The log file analyzer tracks any messages reported by the database system and generates events for the OVO operators.
Configuration and runtime values are monitored to detect configuration problems and suspicious database states. Performance monitors are used for state monitoring (thresholds) and data collection that can be afterwards used by reporting services for historical and trend analysis.

The state-of-the-art SPI implementation is based on Java. Hence the SPI offers easy extensibility and the possibility to support a wide range of operating systems and platforms, shielding the customer from any differences these might have.
The configuration is easy and requires only a minimum effort from the customer side.
