webmytop - MySQL monitoring tool

5th October 2008 12:30

A few years ago I made an ASP.net version of Jeremy Zawodny's mytop tool, to use monitoring the MySQL servers that power play.tm.

The tool consists of two simple parts - some general uptime, number of query, etc stats and the process list MySQL generates with the query "show processlist".

The idea was to make it web-based and have the stats updating in near-realtime using AJAX. It worked a treat and many a poorly coded query has been reoptimised after this tool shows it up churning a machine.

Things have moved on since - now my language of choice is PHP and AJAX is all done through jQuery, so it was time for an update. I also figured that other people may be interested in using it, so we opensourced it.
