MariaDB Performance Tuning Tool
Identify Performance Issues
Correlate MariaDB database performance to system resource metrics to fully understand the environment and find the root cause of performance issues.
SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) focuses on response time, correlating database activity, wait times, SQL statements, application requests, and more to help pinpoint the exact cause of slowdowns.
DPA wait-based analysis helps you focus on issues providing the most significant improvements to your MariaDB databases.
Database Anomaly Detection Powered by Machine Learning
Take the guesswork out of finding performance issues. Anomaly detection powered by machine learning is a breakthrough for database performance management as it visually shows the DBA what queries are running abnormally slow.
Troubleshoot your MariaDB instances effectively using an anomaly detection tool designed to alert you to significant behavioral changes. DPA leverages historical polled data to detect wait behavior patterns automatically and is designed to get smarter over time.
Query Level Analysis & Tuning
Gain alerts, analytics, and advice for optimizing MariaDB databases, as SolarWinds DPA employs proprietary algorithms providing a rich analysis of top queries. DPA will identify potentially harmful aspects of a query’s execution and recent variations in performance relative to historical patterns.
Investigate specific queries, including what type of waits were responsible for significant wait time, whether the statement was blocked by other sessions, and other supporting data. DPA tuning advisors point to problems in need of immediate attention and provide clear, actionable tuning advice.
What’s the difference between MySQL and MariaDB?
MariaDB is almost identical to MySQL, with a few key differences. MariaDB is an open-source fork of the MySQL database, created in 2009 by some of the engineers behind MySQL. As a fork, MariaDB contains the same source code as MySQL, a now closed-source software.
Initially, there was no practical difference between MariaDB and MySQL—with a new set of founders, MariaDB could replicate MySQL in an open-source format without legal repercussions. Since its founding, however, MariaDB has evolved away from its origins with revisions.
Many IT admins prefer MariaDB to MySQL because of its operating efficiency, large number of contributors, and bug fixes constantly improving its database capabilities. MariaDB is also highly compatible with MySQL, with compatible features like files, protocols, and more.
Why is MariaDB monitoring important?
IT admins often use MariaDB as a faster, more transparent database solution compared to related databases. While MariaDB offers efficiency in data retrieval, there are still plenty of ways your database can experience performance bottlenecks. MariaDB performance monitoring allows you to detect database anomalies with automated monitoring tools to reduce downtime and improve your operations.
Detecting MariaDB performance issues is essential in streamlining your database operations—but it’s also crucial in identifying potentially serious threats to your database server. Slow retrieval times and performance anomalies could indicate a security compromise costing your company everything. With a Maria DB monitoring tool, you can keep track of issues as they arise.
How to use DPA to fix MariaDB performance problems?
SolarWinds DPA is available for each step of the MySQL database management process—from anomaly detection to trend correlation to MariaDB performance tuning tools.
The process of MariaDB management with DPA is intuitive. DPA provides a wealth of information for your monitored MariaDB instance. Query analysis combined with machine learning allows admins to find the root cause of poor performance issues and fix them using DPA MariaDB performance-tuning tools.
MariaDB tuning refers to correcting any database anomalies leading to slow database performance. With query tuning advisors, IT admins can pinpoint the line of code in a slow query, possibly creating long wait times. Similarly, tuning for other database features, like capacity and indexing, offers a comprehensive troubleshooting solution—for your MariaDB database and many other database types.
