MySQL Administrator :: 10.1 Introduction

The Health section of MySQL Administrator allows you to graphically monitor the real-time status of your MySQL server. A selection of pre-made status graphs are available, and you can easily create your own status graphs and organize them into custom pages and groups.

The default graphs provide graphical information about the MySQL server's current performance, load, and memory usage. Additional pages list all server variables, divided into pages for status variables and system variables. Note that clicking on the status pages will open an additional connection to the MySQL server, which you can see when viewing threads and users in the Server Connections section.

We'll begin by covering the different pre-made status graphs, and then describe how to create your own status graphs yourself. Finally we'll describe the pages in the Health section dedicated to the various status and system variables.
