Overall Satisfaction with Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)
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.
- Visibility of performance between cluster nodes.
- Presents less obvious metrics.
- Very customisable.
- Documentation sufficient but not outstanding.
- Almost 'too much' data presented.
- Perhaps could have alert defaults.
- Smart reporting (with context) of key DB metrics.
- Query analytics.
- Graphed timeseries of all data.
- Neat breakdown of DB activity by user.
- Instrumental in identifying $BAD_USERS.
- Helped prove DB not at fault for App issue.
- Has helped us tweak conf.
I haven't found a tool anything like PMM in terms of detail, delivery, and price.
