Install MySQL Enterprise Monitor on Windows

 

- Overview:

• MySQL Enterprise Monitor provides real-time visibility into the performance and availability of all your MySQL databases.
• MySQL Enterprise Monitor has the following components:
• MySQL Enterprise Service Manager: analyzes, presents and stores the data collected by the agents. The data is stored in MySQL repository database. The service manager also contains a built-in agent which is used to monitor MySQL repository database and MySQL enterprise service manager host.
• MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent: monitors the MySQL databases instances and hosts, and collects data. The collected data is sent to MySQL enterprise service manager for analysis and presentation. The agent is installed on the same host as the monitored MySQL instances.
•  There are two types of installation architectures:
• MySQL Enterprise Monitor Architecture: where agents are installed on monitored hosts.

• MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agentless Architecture: where the agent is not installed on the monitored hosts, and MySQL instances are monitored by the MySQL enterprise manager's built-in agent.
