MySQL Enterprise Monitor offers several features designed for monitoring and managing MySQL servers effectively. It enables the deployment of MySQL agents on supported target operating systems, which is essential for collecting monitoring data. It provides the capability to create e-mail alerts and SNMP traps for MySQL warnings, ensuring that administrators are notified of potential issues promptly. The tool also monitors the availability of the MySQL instance, helping to ensure continuous uptime. Additionally, it allows for the analysis of executed MySQL queries, aiding in performance tuning and optimization. Starting and stopping the MySQL instance and tracing import/export with `mysqldump` are not directly related to monitoring functionalities. Monitoring of NDB Cluster API nodes is also not a core feature of MySQL Enterprise Monitor unless specifically extended for NDB Cluster setups.
