• Enhancements such as automatic discovery of MySQL instances, centralized agent configuration and multi-instance monitoring further improve ease of configuration and management
• The new cloud and virtualization-friendly, "agent-less" design allows remote monitoring of MySQL databases without the need for any remote agents
• Trends, projections and forecasting - Graphs and Event handlers inform you in advance of impending file system capacity problems
• Zero Configuration Query Analyzer - Works "out of the box" with MySQL 5.6 Performance_Schema (supported by 5.6.14 or later)
• False positives from flapping or spikes are avoided using exponential moving averages and other statistical techniques
