    Click Export to save the session data to your computer.

• 10-second SQL analysis
  Click Analysis. The system runs the show processlist command once every second within a 10-second period and analyzes all results. Based on the results, you can identify which SQL statements are run for a large number of times and whether slow SQL statements occur within the 10 seconds.
• SQL execution optimization
  Select the sessions that have SQL statements in the corresponding SQL column, and then click Optimize to view the SQL statement diagnosis and optimization information.
