Summary

The updated MySQL integration for Grafana Cloud introduces a pre-built MySQL logs dashboard and enhanced Grafana Agent configuration to collect and visualize MySQL server logs, facilitating deeper insights into server performance. While metrics are commonly used for quick performance assessments, logs provide detailed insights into the root causes of issues. The integration enhances the ability to correlate metrics, logs, and traces, using the Grafana Agent to send telemetry data to the Grafana Cloud stack. The new configuration ensures synchronized labels for logs and metrics, allowing seamless navigation from metrics to corresponding logs for detailed analysis. Accompanied by a comprehensive MySQL logs dashboard, the integration retains the context of the MySQL instance and time interval across dashboards, enhancing user experience. Grafana Cloud offers a free tier and various plans, encouraging users to explore its capabilities for full-stack observability.
