This is the homepage of the MySQL Monitoring Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control, a development project sponsored by The Pythian Group. The plug-in extends monitoring capabilities of Grid Control so that DBAs with heterogeneous environments can monitor MySQL systems using the same tool they use for Oracle products such as Oracle Databases and Application Servers.

With this plug-in, a DBA can add a new MySQL target just as they can an Oracle database. Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent doesn’t have to be running on the same host as the monitored MySQL database. I.e., remote monitoring of the MySQL database using one or two agents is possible. This is very important as many administrators prefer to keep server software stack at bare minimum whereas Oracle Agent is often considered somewhat heavy and bulky to install.

MySQL targets behave in the same way as any other Grid Control targets, including availability monitoring, performance metrics collections, configurations management, alerts notifications, and reports.

The datasheet is available here.
