Key Features
Real-Time MariaDB Query Hotspot and Replication Performance Analysis
Expose costly operations, workload surges, and consistency risks early.
Query Load Patterns & Performance Hotspots
- Break down total database workload by query type, operation category, and execution frequency to clearly reveal the heaviest performance consumers in production.
- Track response time trends across peak traffic hours, background jobs, and reporting workloads to understand when and why slowdowns occur.
- Identify resource-intensive queries and operations that consume excessive CPU, memory, or disk I/O and reduce overall throughput.
- Monitor workload growth over time as applications scale to proactively plan capacity and prevent performance degradation.
Real-Time SQL Flow & Costly Operations
- Capture active SQL statements in real time along with execution duration, database context, and client source for complete workload visibility.
- Instantly surface slow joins, heavy insert operations, bulk updates, and complex queries that impact responsiveness.
- Filter live activity by database, table, service, or user to quickly isolate performance bottlenecks.
- Understand how real production traffic interacts with your data layer to optimize high-impact application paths.
Execution Plans & Index Strategy Insights
- Visualize MariaDB optimizer decisions across joins, scans, and index access paths to understand how queries are executed internally.
- Detect full table scans and inefficient index usage early before they lead to performance slowdowns.
- Analyze operation-level cost distribution to prioritize tuning efforts where they deliver the most impact.
- Improve query speed and efficiency using real execution behavior rather than theoretical optimization.
Replication Lag, Write Pressure & Consistency Health
- Track primary to replica synchronization status in real time to ensure healthy replication performance.
- Monitor replication delay that impacts read scaling and data freshness across replicas.
- Identify heavy write bursts or long-running transactions that slow down replication pipelines.
- Maintain data consistency and high availability during traffic spikes and peak workload periods.
