MySQL Advisor
A web-based configuration analyzer that reviews MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona server output for performance and security issues and returns prioritized, severity-ranked recommendations.
Built by MySQL consultant Kedar Vaijanapurkar to automate the first-pass configuration review he used to run by hand on every client engagement, MySQL Advisor analyzes the output of SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES and SHOW GLOBAL STATUS — pasted or uploaded as text — without ever connecting to the database itself, so it’s safe to run against production.
It runs roughly 150 checks across 19 categories (InnoDB memory, replication, security, clustering, and more), version-aware for MySQL 5.6–8.4, MariaDB 10.x–11.x, and Percona variants including XtraDB Cluster (Galera) and Group Replication. Findings come back ranked Critical / Warning / Info / OK, exportable as HTML, Markdown, or Word, with an optional REST API for automating the same checks in a pipeline.
