Highlight: New “MySQL fleet performance” dashboard for HeatWave and External MySQL

What’s New?

Effective July 3, 2025, OCI’s Database Management introduces a powerful, Oracle-defined dashboard—MySQL Fleet Performance—to monitor and manage your fleet of HeatWave and External MySQL DB Systems across multiple regions.

This dashboard, part of the Management Dashboard suite, offers:

• End-to-end visibility into fleet health

• Critical performance metrics across all MySQL systems

• Unified management of both native HeatWave and externally managed MySQL across environments

Plus, you retain the flexibility to build custom dashboards tailored to your unique operational requirements.

Dive Deeper: How It Works

For comprehensive usage details, refer to “Work with Dashboards”, which guides you through:

• Navigating the MySQL Fleet Performance dashboard

• Adding or customizing widgets and charts

• Integrating performance insights into your broader monitoring workflows via the OCI console 

These instructions are detailed in Oracle’s MySQL documentation.
