What is the FromDual Performance Monitor for MariaDB and MySQL (fpmmm)?

The FromDual Performance Monitor (fpmmm) for MariaDB, Galera Cluster, MySQL and Percona Server is a monitoring solution based on the enterprise class open source monitor Zabbix.

It provides all the necessary modules to monitor your MySQL/MariaDB performance metrics in detail an let you display them graphically.

Thus it is a good alternative to the MySQL Enterprise Monitor which is only available for paying Oracle/MySQL customers.

For more details see also our presentation at the OpenSQL Camp / FrOSCon 2010.

On the Server where you want to install your monitoring service you need PHP, Apache and a database back-end (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle or SQLite) installed.

Further you need a compile server to compile the Zabbix software.

On the Servers where you have your MySQL databases installed you need Perl and DBD::MySQL installed.
