An official Prometheus exporter that scrapes MySQL and MariaDB server metrics and exposes them in Prometheus format over HTTP. It supports single-instance and multi-target probing modes with configurable authentication modules.

Use cases

  • monitor mysql server metrics with prometheus
  • export mariadb performance metrics to prometheus
  • scrape mysql connection and query statistics
  • monitor multiple mysql instances from one exporter
  • set up alerting on mysql slow queries and replication lag

When to choose

  • you run Prometheus and need MySQL/MariaDB metrics
  • you want an official, maintained exporter with multi-target support
  • you monitor MySQL >= 5.6 or MariaDB >= 10.3

When to avoid

  • you don't use Prometheus or a Prometheus-compatible monitoring stack
  • you need metrics from other databases like PostgreSQL or MongoDB
  • you run very old MySQL versions below 5.6
