MariaDB Enterprise Manager is a comprehensive observability and management solution designed for your entire database fleet. It provides advanced, topology-aware monitoring and a robust suite of visual tools for query development and schema management, all from a single, centralized interface.
Because MariaDB developers created it, you get deep integration and a smooth workflow that generic tools can’t provide.
MariaDB Enterprise Manager Overview
MariaDB Enterprise Manager gathers telemetry from MariaDB servers, MaxScale instances and MariaDB Servers running Enterprise Cluster. Enterprise Manager provides the ability to:
Leverage the power of a built-in Grafana instance, complete with pre-packaged dashboards and production-ready alerts. The platform provides the flexibility to create custom dashboards, define unique alert rules, and route notifications to a wide range of destinations.
Seamlessly export metrics and integrate with your existing observability stack since Enterprise Manager uses OpenTelemetry for metrics collection. The integrated Prometheus time-series database exposes a query API.
Gain a topology-based, centralized view of your entire database fleet. Enterprise Manager discovers and visualizes your replication and clustering setups, allowing you to drill down into a specific MaxScale UI through a seamless single sign-on (SSO) experience.
Secure your management layer with robust security features. Authenticate users with your corporate identity provider (OIDC), enforce granular permissions with role-based access control (RBAC), and maintain compliance with a comprehensive audit log for all administrative actions.
Run and debug queries using the Query Editor, and manage and model schemas across multiple database connections via a visual ERD Designer.
MariaDB Enterprise Manager Implementation
MariaDB Enterprise Manager is installed on a server separate from your MariaDB environment(s). The diagram below shows the various connection options for providing data to MariaDB Enterprise Manager, along with the capabilities of Enterprise Manager.
Database Topology View of Your Database Fleet
Get instant insight into your entire MariaDB environment with customizable dashboards powered by Grafana. Use prebuilt dashboards to visualize everything from OS-level metrics to deep database performance indicators. Proactively manage your fleet with a powerful alerting engine. For ultimate flexibility, export all telemetry using the OpenTelemetry standard to integrate seamlessly with your enterprise-wide observability platforms.
Analyze and Optimize Performance
Diagnose and resolve performance issues faster than ever. The integrated query editor allows DBAs and developers to write, test and profile queries directly within the management console. Visually explore complex table relationships with the schema explorer (ERD) to understand dependencies and assess the impact of changes. Pinpoint inefficient queries and optimize your database for peak performance, all from a centralized interface.
Centralized Control and Security Compliance
Whether you manage 10 databases or a thousand, Enterprise Manager provides a centralized fleet view to assess the health of your entire database topology at a glance. Drill down into specific clusters with a single click and manage them in MaxScale through a seamless SSO experience. Enforce security and compliance mandates with role-based access control, integration with your corporate identity provider (IdP), and comprehensive audit logs that track every action taken through the UI and API.
