Advanced monitoring provides deeper visibility into your PolarDB for MySQL cluster than standard performance monitoring. It supports a broader set of performance metrics, custom dashboards, and automatic event detection — with root cause analysis and actionable suggestions delivered as events occur. For issues that require manual investigation, select a specific time range and trigger an on-demand diagnosis.

Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
A running PolarDB for MySQL cluster
Open advanced monitoring
Log on to the PolarDB console.
In the upper-left corner, select the region where the cluster is deployed.
Find the cluster and click its ID.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
Click the Advanced Monitoring tab.
Use Standard View
On the Standard View tab, select a node to view its performance trend charts for the last one hour, last one day, or last seven days.
The following actions are available in Standard View:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| More Metrics | View performance trends for additional metrics. |
| Add Trend Comparison | Compare performance trends for a metric across different time ranges. |
| Diagnose | Select a time range in a monitoring item's trend chart, then click Diagnose to analyze metrics in that range. |
| Details | Expand a monitoring item's trend chart. Adjust the time range to see how the metric changes over a specific period. |
Use Custom View
On the Custom View tab, create and manage multiple performance monitoring dashboards tailored to your business needs. Displaying multiple metrics in the same chart makes it easier to correlate data during troubleshooting and analysis.
The first time you use Custom View, you must create dashboards first. For more information, see Monitoring dashboards.
