MariaDB Performance Monitoring and Tuning Tool
Pinpoint problems to find the root cause of performance issues with the robust MariaDB monitoring tool
Pinpoint MariaDB Bottlenecks Before They Hit Your Users
SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) is designed to help you identify and resolve MariaDB performance issues faster.
Unlike monitoring tools that only examine server health metrics, SolarWinds DPA is built to collect wait event data directly from your MariaDB instance every second — agentless, via JDBC — breaking down exactly where queries spend their time across I/O, locks, network, and other wait categories.
This can help you quickly pinpoint which specific queries and wait types are slowing down your database, making it easier to focus your tuning efforts where they'll have the most impact.
Catch MariaDB Anomalies Faster with Machine Learning
Take the guesswork out of finding performance issues. Anomaly detection powered by machine learning is a breakthrough for database performance management, as it visually shows the DBA what queries are running abnormally slow.
Troubleshoot your MariaDB instances effectively using an anomaly detection tool designed to alert you to significant behavioral changes. DPA leverages historical polled data to detect wait behavior patterns automatically and is designed to get smarter over time.
Tune MariaDB Queries with Actionable, Query-Level Insight
Gain alerts, analytics, and advice for optimizing MariaDB databases, as SolarWinds DPA employs proprietary algorithms providing a rich analysis of top queries. DPA will identify potentially harmful aspects of a query’s execution and recent variations in performance relative to historical patterns.
Investigate specific queries, including what type of waits were responsible for significant wait time, whether the statement was blocked by other sessions, and other supporting data. DPA tuning advisors point to problems in need of immediate attention and provide clear, actionable tuning advice.
Monitor MariaDB Securely with Least-Privilege Access Controls
Your monitoring tool touches query text, execution plans, and wait data—information you’d never expose carelessly in production. DPA is designed to work with a dedicated, read-only MariaDB monitoring account, so you get full performance visibility without handing over admin-level access to your database.
Connections between SolarWinds DPA and your MariaDB instances are encrypted, and role-based access controls help ensure only the right people can see sensitive dashboard data. It’s monitoring that fits inside your security policies—not one that asks you to bend them.
Monitor MariaDB alongside MySQL and Percona MySQL from a single platform
SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) is built to monitor MariaDB, MySQL, and Percona MySQL — and their cloud variants — from a single platform. Whether your databases run on-premises or in the cloud on Amazon RDS for MySQL or MariaDB, Amazon Aurora MySQL-compatible, Azure Database for MySQL or MariaDB, or Google Cloud SQL for MySQL, DPA is designed to give you consistent wait-based performance visibility across all of them. This can help you stop managing separate monitoring tools for each database type and focus on resolving performance issues instead.

Do you find yourself asking…
MariaDB is almost identical to MySQL, with a few key differences. MariaDB is an open-source fork of the MySQL database, created in 2009 by some of the engineers behind MySQL. As a fork, MariaDB contains the same source code as MySQL, which is now closed-source.
Initially, there was no practical difference between MariaDB and MySQL—with a new set of founders, MariaDB could replicate MySQL in an open-source format without legal repercussions. Since its founding, however, MariaDB has evolved away from its origins with revisions.
Many IT admins prefer MariaDB to MySQL because of its operating efficiency, large number of contributors, and bug fixes constantly improving its database capabilities. MariaDB is also highly compatible with MySQL, with features such as file formats, protocols, and more.
