I can only see a limited amount of MySQL database monitors added. How to add new databases for monitoring?

By default, MySQL instances will be auto-discovered and added as free monitors. MySQL data collection and monitoring will start once the agent is provided with the proper credentials. Check this article on how to add or update credentials.

New databases can be added for monitoring by using the steps below:

  1. From the Site24x7 web console, navigate to Database > MySQL > Instance name in which the new database resides.

  1. In the Database tab of the MySQL monitor instance, click Discover Databases. Now, you can add or remove databases.
