As a MySQL database administrator, keeping a close eye on the performance of your MySQL server is crucial to ensure optimal database operations. However, simply deploying a monitoring tool is not enough; you need to know which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor to gain insights into your MySQL server’s health and performance.

This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something. This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!
