      To make it easier for you to view and stay up to date with how instances work, TencentDB for MySQL provides a wide variety of performance monitoring metrics and convenient monitoring features (custom view, time comparison, merged monitoring metrics, etc). You can log in to the TencentDB for MySQL console, and view them in Instance Monitoring on the instance management page.

      Note：

      • You can get instance monitoring metrics by calling the GetMonitorData API or using the TencentDB for MySQL monitoring metrics in Cloud Monitor.
      • You can create dashboards for monitoring metrics to analyze monitored data dynamically.
      • If the number of tables in a single instance exceeds one million, database monitoring may be affected. Make sure that the number of tables in a single instance is below one million.

      Types of Instances for Monitoring

      TencentDB for MySQL source, read-only, and disaster recovery instances as well as database proxy nodes can be monitored, and each instance is provided with a separate monitoring view for easy query.

      Types of Monitoring

      Four types of monitoring are available for TencentDB for MySQL: resource monitoring, engine monitoring (general), engine monitoring (extended), and deployment monitoring. You can view the metrics of different monitoring types to gain a quick and accurate understanding of how instances perform and operate.

      • Resource monitoring provides monitoring data of CPU, memory, disk, and network.
      • Engine monitoring (general) provides monitoring data of the number of connections, locks, hotspot tables, and slow queries, helping you troubleshoot issues and optimize the performance.
      • Engine monitoring (extended) provides a wider variety of engine-related monitoring metrics so as to assist you in identifying existing or potential database problems as much as possible.
      • Deployment monitoring provides monitoring metrics with regard to source-replica delay. It divides into source monitoring and replica monitoring:
      • If the instance is a source instance, the object of instance deployment monitoring is the linkage between the source instance and its hidden replica. Deployment monitoring displays the IO and SQL thread status of the hidden replica. The source-replica delay (in MB) and source-replica delay (in seconds) are about the delay between the source instance and its hidden replica.
      • If the instance is a read-only instance, the object of instance deployment monitoring is the linkage between the source instance and the read-only instance. Deployment monitoring displays the IO and SQL thread status of the read-only instance. The source-replica delay (in MB) and source-replica delay (in seconds) are about the delay between the read-only instance and the source instance.
      • If the instance is a disaster recovery instance:
        a. The object of instance deployment monitoring (source) is the linkage between the disaster recovery instance and the source instance. Deployment monitoring displays the IO and SQL thread status of the disaster recovery instance. The source-replica delay (in MB) and source-replica delay (in seconds) are about the delay between the disaster recovery instance and the source instance.
        b. The object of instance deployment monitoring (replica) is the linkage between the disaster recovery instance and its hidden replica. Deployment monitoring displays the IO and SQL thread status of the hidden replica. The source-replica delay (in MB) and source-replica delay (in seconds) are about the delay between the disaster recovery instance and its hidden replica.

      Monitoring Granularity

      TencentDB for MySQL has adopted an adaptive policy for monitoring granularity since August 11, 2018, which means that you cannot select a monitoring granularity as desired for the time being. The adaptive policy is as follows:

      Time Span Monitoring Granularity Adaptation Description Retention Period
      (0h, 4h] Five seconds The time span is below four hours, and the monitoring granularity is five seconds One day
      (4h, 2d] One minute The time span is above four hours but below two days, and the monitoring granularity is one minute 15 days
      (2d, 10d] Five minutes The time span is above two days but below ten days, and the monitoring granularity is five minutes 31 days
      (10d, 30d] One hour The time span is above ten days but below 30 days, and the monitoring granularity is one hour 62 days
      Note：

      Currently, you can view monitoring data of TencentDB for MySQL in the past 30 days.

      Monitoring Metrics

      Cloud Monitor provides the following monitoring metrics for TencentDB for MySQL instances in the instance dimension:
