Once the metrics are collected and exported, you can visualize them using a compatible backend system. Sudo journalctl -u otelcol-contrib -f # OpenTelemetry Backend To start monitoring MySQL, you need to configure MySQL receiver open in new window in /etc/otel-contrib-collector/config.yaml using Uptrace DSN: Using OpenTelemetry Collector, you can monitor key performance metrics provided by MySQL itself, such as CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, network traffic, and query throughput. You can transform and reshape the data to fit your specific monitoring and analysis requirements before sending it to the backend systems.

Otel Collector provides powerful data processing capabilities, allowing you to perform aggregation, filtering, sampling, and enrichment of telemetry data. OpenTelemetry Collector open in new window is an agent that pulls telemetry data from systems you want to monitor and sends it to OpenTelemetry backends open in new window. This tutorial explains how you can use OpenTelemetry and Uptrace to proactively identify and address performance issues, optimize your MySQL database, and ensure its smooth operation. Monitoring MySQL performance is crucial to ensure the optimal operation of your MySQL database and identify any potential bottlenecks or issues. # Monitoring MySQL Performance using OpenTelemetry OpenTelemetry Collector open in new window.
