Learn how to send MySQL data collected by collectd to VMware Aria Operations for Applications (formerly known as Tanzu Observability by Wavefront).

MySQL is a popular open-source relational database. See collectd MySQL plugin documentation.

VMware Aria Operations for Applications supports a built-in integration that gets data from MySQL using Telegraf. If you want to use collectd instead, follow the instructions on this page.
