What's New

hashtag
MySQL Protocol Parsing

Decode MySQL traffic into structured operations so you can inspect activity beyond connection metadata.

hashtag
STARTTLS Support

When MySQL sessions upgrade to TLS via STARTTLS, Qtap continues protocol-aware visibility for supported environments.

hashtag
Query and Response Context

Analyze requests and server responses with timing to pinpoint slow paths and failing operations.

hashtag
Process Attribution

Tie MySQL activity back to the exact process/container making the call.

Why It Matters

Before this release, MySQL debugging often required app-level logging, slow-query logs, or manual correlation.

Now you can quickly answer:

  • Which service issued this query?

  • Which operations are timing out?

  • Did the session switch to TLS?

  • What changed during the incident window?

hashtag
Common Use Cases

  • Production troubleshooting: Isolate failing queries quickly

  • Performance analysis: Find expensive patterns and latency spikes

  • Security/compliance: Validate encrypted session behavior with STARTTLS

  • Dependency mapping: See which workloads actually use each database
