I'm really impressed by the performance monitoring features FathomDB offers, especially the ability to sort the most processor and disk intensive queries over the last couple minutes/hours.

I've done a little bit of googling and there seem to be a couple of open source MySQL performance monitoring tools that offer the same kind of features (Nagios, Cacti), but this is something I have very little experience in. Any DBAs care to comment on how they monitor their DBs?

FathomDB looks awesome. Can't wait to get our hands on this to trial.

I love the YC eco-system:

>> WebMynd have been lucky enough to be using just such a database over the last year: FathomDB, which launches in private beta today.

Much needed. Long overdue!
