I just started using MONyog a month ago, and purchased it today.  I have used MySQL Enterprise Monitor for a year and a half, and although some believe its a superior product, its 5K per server per year for the Enterprise version.

I bought the Unlimited Pack for $999 and that is a perpetual license for an unlimited amount of servers.  It gives me all the monitoring I need and without an agent installed on the MySQL server.  That makes the sys-admins I work with very happy.

My prefered feature is the log analyzer.  It makes analysing the slow-query-log and the general-log really easy and efficient.

Cool product, check it out if you can.

I wanted to let you know all about a blog and podcast I have been reading/listening to lately. Its called OurSQL and the author is Sheeri Kritzer.I have been in email contact with Sheeri and she seems like a really great person. Why wouldn’t she be? She’s a MySQL DBA after all! The self proclaimed “She-BA”.

Check out her blog at sheeri.net and her Podcast OurSQL on iTunes.

A while back I invited you all, from my sister site, to join me on a journey to explore my new favorite RDBMS, MySQL. Well here we are and thank you for joining me. In this the first installment, I wanted to set down the ground rules and let you know how we are going to be doing things.

Every installment will have 2 parts. An audio podcast, covering that installment’s material, and a blog entry on the website to support the podcast, show notes, links, code and commands mentioned in the podcast. The blog will not be limited to simply supporting the podcasts. I will also be blogging my ideas and thoughts about a multitude of subjects related directly and indirectly to MySQL.

I will try as much as possible to stay true to MySQL and not rant about other subjects on this site. You can always visit my main site at christoskalantzis.com for those.

Bye! Thanks for all the fish!

Note: The closing line is taken from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In the book, the Dolphins leave before the Earth is destroyed and thank the humans for all the fish they fed on while visiting us here. MySQL uses a Dolphin (Sakila) to represent itself, so I find it fitting to end every podcast and blog entry with that line.
