System Information Gathering and Reporter available in MySQL Enterprise monitoring

Hyperic announced a license agreement with MySQL AB which would allow the use of Hyperic’s SIGAR (System Information Gathering and Reporter) API in the new MySQL Enterprise monitoring service. Hyperic’s SIGAR API enables MySQL Enterprise to obtain low-level operating system information from a variety of different platforms. “Our goal with MySQL Enterprise is to make the development, deployment and administration of MySQL servers as easy as possible,” said Zack Urlocker, MySQL AB vice president of products. “Hyperic’s SIGAR API technology allows us to provide our customers with valuable data for managing their IT systems — no matter what heterogeneous combination of hardware and software they are using.”
