Zberteoc,

Solarwinds do not check MySQL, I checkd this out before.

I need a tools that check DB server response time but not individual query response time.
Loganathan Natarajan,

can I have a windows based tools ?
"MySQLTuner-perl

MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that allows you to review a MySQL installation quickly and make adjustments to increase performance and stability. The current configuration variables and status data is retrieved and presented in a brief format along with some basic performance suggestions.
"

MySQLtuner is not for monitoring, right?

Open in new window


It is also Monitoring tool. You can live watch on where ever sql execution time, memory use, locking etc.,
For Windows,  I used this , heidisql

We don't get full details like, MySQL tuner how it displays on the screen on our requests.
Define "DB server response time". I haven't heard such thing before. A db server response is function of physical parameters like I/O, network, and logical parameters like query performance which are both measured by Solarwind monitor. True, doesn't work with MySql unfortunately.

You can simply ping a server tosee how good the network is and build a simple script that will query regularly some database, measure the response time and keep a history to compare.
Zberteoc,

"True, doesn't work with MySql unfortunately."

so I can't consider it as I will be justified on why not meansuring them both.

"You can simply ping a server tosee how good the network is and build a simple script that will query regularly some database, measure the response time and keep a history to compare. "

how ?I don't see script to measure that.
Loganathan Natarajan,

about heidisql, do we have to run it all the time from a workstation ? it seems can't run on a server?

the time column is the response time ?
HeidiSQL is just a management/development tool and not a monitoring tool.
Zberteoc,

yes, you are right and that's why I ask Loganathan Natarajan for this, the link he gave me doesn't shows that up.

All,

I have checked a lot of tools that if I want MySQL and MS SQL monitor by a single box, only application manager and Zabbix can do it, one on windows and one on Linux.

but one thing, they can only monitor Query level response time.
