Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PMM in both our development and IT teams to monitor our database. The tool allows us to trace performance and discover optimisation opportunities, which provides significant cost savings over upgrading the platform as we grow our business. Before we integrated PMM we were reliant on standard tools to manually investigate production state, variables and other metrics.

Databases work great when fresh and clean but over the years you seem to encounter more and more performance issues. Over-enthusiastic developers brimming with confidence can quickly overload tables with indexes or make changes without thinking about scenarios outside their ticket. Business growth can lead to server strain if you aren't monitoring your infra vigilantly. Queries that once worked well can suffer over time and you need a good tool to dig in to the data. PMM is excellent for these kinds of use-cases.

I initially found the vast quantity of data presented to be overwhelming, but that is where I needed to raise my knowledge to understand the DB internals better. If you feel you don't know enough about your database performance the dashboards will keep you busy for a while. The Query Analytics tool may also be insightful. My only gripe is I wish there was more documentation on explaining some of the data for less experienced MySQL users.

<div>Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) offers us a very complete view of everything that happens, allowing us to select the time intervals we want to study and individually select the database we want to see, thus improving the user experience.</div><div>

"Metrics Monitor" &amp; "Query Analitycs" are two interesting functionalities that allow us to detect problems in the performance of our queries, in addition to providing proactive information on possible performance problems in the future if what it shows us reaches the production teams with those that interact with our clients or the administrators of our company. The set of graphics and elements to select gives us great ease when configuring the dashboard to our liking and covering many of the company's needs.</div>

One of the main advantages is the integration with tools like Prometheus with the aim of storing information based on time. In addition, it offers a good interaction with the different agents using a REST API to show the results in Grafana dashboards.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Percona Monitoring and Management has helped in monitoring thousand of database servers "MySQL" in one place which has decreased the complexity of our system. I like to do an Advanced Configuration, there is more option available to customize. I think the most valuable and secure features are the warning critical levels. For example, in one case we were looking to alert of CPU usage - and if it's over 60% in an average period of time then it's not entrusting, and if it's over 90% it's critical, which you can specify the values that are best for your application. It's easy to use and deploy with a Beautiful GUI with Grafana and has Zabbix integration.

3. Has an easy and simple solution for complex databases

5. Best for alert solution for MYSQL and MongoDB.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We monitor hundreds of database servers (MySQL) with PMM and we has been actively using it on prod since the first betas. It's extremely helpful, easy to deploy and it makes possible for the whole OPS team to check the status of the DB layer. The Query Analyzer is the only Open Source query visualization tool that is being developed and it's also useful when hunting for problematic/resource intensive queries.

Likelihood to Recommend

There are no other open source tools out there that could compete with PMM in its league. If you use MySQL (or PostgreSQL, ProxySQL) you can have a running monitoring in a couple of minutes. The agents are not really resource intensive and Percona provides a repo for most of the main Linux distributions. The documentation is thorough and straightforward. The defaults are good!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using PMM across the whole organization. It's addressing the problem of observability. We have improved our MTTD and Capacity planning using USE method on top of PMM. The current version of PMM also supports the RED method graphs which helps to improve RCA Process. The inbuilt graphs are covering all details about MySQL/Mongo and Postgres.

Likelihood to Recommend

PMM is well suited for all environments where MySQL/Mongo and Postgres is being used.

1. Organization that loves opensource.

2. Organization those are fast pace

3. Who believes in blameless RCA
