Fill out a quick survey on your cloud data plans.

Today, keeping your enterprise agile and flexible is not just an advantage, it is a requirement. Many of the systems and processes once controlled by businesses onsite are moving offsite to “service” models. This includes Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Database as a Service (DBaaS), etc.

These services are usually referred to as being in the cloud. The enterprise using the service doesn’t maintain or manage the infrastructure of the service in question.

In this post, we’ll examine how we’ve improved the GUI layout for Percona Monitoring and Management 1.5 by moving the Query Analytics (QAN) functions into the Grafana interface.

For Percona Monitoring and Management users, you might notice that QAN appears a little differently in our 1.5 release. We’ve taken steps to unify the PMM interface so that it feels more natural to move from reviewing historical trends in Metrics Monitor to examining slow queries in QAN.  Most significantly:

2. We updated the color scheme of QAN to match Metrics Monitor (but you can toggle a button if you prefer to still see QAN in white!)
3. Date picker and host selector now use the same methods as Metrics Monitor
