# MySQL DevTools

**A DevTools-style network tab for MySQL traffic.**

Qtap DevTools now includes a **MySQL panel** so you can inspect live MySQL operations from your browser while debugging a host. See requests, responses, timing, and source process details in one workflow.

**Released:** Feb 18, 2025

{% hint style="success" %}
**Available Now**: MySQL DevTools is available in the latest qtap release with DevTools enabled.
{% endhint %}

## What's New

### Dedicated MySQL Panel

View MySQL traffic alongside existing DevTools tabs in a focused, database-first interface.

### Request/Response Inspection

Drill into operation details to understand what was sent, what came back, and where failures started.

### Latency & Timing View

Track query-level timing to diagnose bottlenecks and identify slow paths during incidents.

### Process & Container Context

See exactly which service or container generated each MySQL operation.

***

## Why It Matters

Database incidents are high pressure and time-sensitive. MySQL DevTools reduces time-to-diagnosis by giving you immediate visibility without adding debug code or redeploying services.

***

## Common Use Cases

* **Live incident triage:** Catch failures while traffic is flowing
* **Root-cause analysis:** Correlate app behavior with database operations
* **Performance tuning:** Identify slow or repeated operations
* **Ownership clarity:** Confirm which service is hitting each database
