PMM is your best choice when looking for an Open Source monitoring solution
Overall Satisfaction with Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)
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.
Pros
- Easy to deploy.
- Easy to use.
- Nice interface.
Cons
- Setting up alerts is still complicated.
- Automatic dashboards based on ec2 tags.
- Better scaling for larger deployment.
- We can identify issues way better.
- We can identify blocking queries faster.
- We can run it fully on-premises.
- SolarWinds Database Performance Monitor (formerly VividCortex)
VividCortex is really excellent when it comes to query analysis, but it's pricy and on-premises sample collection is more problematic. When you have hundreds of machines and you even need to store the monitoring metadata locally, PMM is an excellent choice. If you are mainly interested in query analysis and on-premises hosting is not a requirement, VividCortex probably worth a look too.
