Latest FBLib for Delphi/Lazarus

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:50:18 -0700

At the moment (well, for the last two years now) we only use FBLib. The original author is nowhere to be found, so I started maintaining or rather fixing the issues we deteced. For our latest FBLib, you can get a update from tiOPF’s project on SourceForge.net. svn co https://tiopf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tiopf/3rdParty/FBLib/Trunk FBLib I tagged the original version of FBLib as well, so [...]

dbWatch News

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:47:24 -0700

Seems I have turned into a bit of a news source. dbWatch Software sent me a news release on their dbWatch monitoring platform, which looks like it might be an interesting product for those who work in a heterogeneous database environment. Here’s the release:

It was a timely contact, coinciding with Sheeri’s review of MONyog. It sounds like dbWatch is the kind of tool that would be valuable here at Pythian, where we work with all of the DBMSs it supports. But — I haven’t tried it yet, so I put it to you: have any of you used dbaWatch? If so, what are you opinions?

Solaris and the 256 File Descriptor Problem

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:49:51 -0700

Some of you reading this may remember that back when InterBase 6.0 was released on Solaris we ran into a fundamental problem on Solaris. It seems that since 1992 there has been an open bug documenting Solaris’ file descriptor problem: “32-bit stdio routines should support file descriptors >255.” When this issue was discovered, we chose to [...]

Reviewing MONyog

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:50:05 -0700

I was contacted by the folks at MONyog and asked if I would review MONyog. Since using MONyog is something I have been wanting to do for a while, I jumped at the chance. Of course, “jumped” is relative; Rohit asked me at the MySQL User Conference back in April, and here it is two months later, in June. My apologies to folks for being slow.

This review is an overall review of MONyog as well as specifically reviewing the newest features released in the recent beta (Version 2.5 Beta 2). Feature requests are easily delineated with (feature request). This review is quite long, feel free to bookmark it and read it at your leisure. If you have comments please add them, even if it takes a while for you to read this entire article.

While the webyog website gives some information about what MONyog can do, it is a bit vague about what MONyog is, although there is a link to a PDF whitepaper on What is MONyog? which does answer much of these questions.

The screenshots available from the website are accurate, so I will not reproduce them here. I will note that I have not shared this feedback with the webyog team yet, so I may be upset that a feature is lacking, and the feature may be implemented but I missed it. I will post a follow-up in that case, even though they will likely comment here too.

My reference points — I have used other monitoring and graphing tools such as Nagios, Cacti, and Intermapper as well as MySQL’s Enterprise Monitor.

Overall

As an overall review — MONyog is the best out-of-the-box GUI monitoring tool for MySQL that I have seen. It “just works.” As promised, getting up and running quickly is easy, and having a centralized location for monitoring is very useful. The graphs are beautiful and the statistics that are graphed are useful time-savers.
