Short answer

Do not start anything new on MySQL Enterprise Monitor: it has been end of life since 1 January 2025 and its documentation has been taken down. If you still run it, plan a move to Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL (Oracle's stated replacement) or to an independent monitor such as Percona Monitoring and Management or Datadog.

How we know: This profile is research-based: lifecycle and replacement were checked on 7 November 2026 against Oracle's MySQL product support EOL announcements page, the MySQL Enterprise Edition product page and the Oracle Enterprise Manager MySQL Database User's Guide (24.1, September 2026). The MySQL Enterprise Monitor manual itself is no longer online, so feature descriptions are limited to what Oracle still publishes and well-established product components. We have not used it.

Overview

MySQL Enterprise Monitor (often shortened to MEM) was the monitoring product Oracle supplied to MySQL Enterprise customers. It consisted of MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, a web application with its own repository, and agents that collected data from monitored MySQL servers. Its best-known parts were advisors, rule sets that flagged configuration, security and performance problems, and Query Analyzer, which showed which SQL statements ran most often and took the most time.

Oracle's product support notice states that MySQL Enterprise Monitor is end of life as of 1 January 2025 and encourages users to use Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL instead. Older versions had already been retired (version 4.0 on 25 November 2020, for example). The current MySQL Enterprise Edition page lists backup, security, encryption, masking, firewall, audit and support components, but no longer the monitor.

Pros and cons

Pros

Was built and supported by the MySQL vendor for its subscription customers
Combined statement-level query analysis with rule-based advisors in one console
Oracle names a clear replacement for existing customers

Cons

End of life since 1 January 2025: no new releases and no path for new deployments
The product manual and release notes are no longer online
Its successor requires the Oracle Enterprise Manager platform

Pricing

MySQL Enterprise Monitor is no longer offered: Oracle's notice says it reached end of life on 1 January 2025, and the current MySQL Enterprise Edition page no longer lists it among the edition's components. It was a commercial tool for MySQL subscription customers, never a free product. Oracle directs users to Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL; check its licensing with Oracle, as this profile does not cover it.

Pricing checked on the vendor's official page on 7 November 2026. Prices change; confirm before buying.

Who it is best for

Existing users who need to understand what they are migrating away from.

Typical use cases

Planning migration of advisors and alerts from a legacy MEM installation
Mapping old Query Analyzer workflows to performance_schema or a current monitor
Understanding references to MEM in older MySQL runbooks

Who should look elsewhere

Any new MySQL monitoring project: see MySQL monitoring tools.

Verdict

Our take

MySQL Enterprise Monitor is a retired product: Oracle ended it on 1 January 2025 and recommends Oracle Enterprise Manager for MySQL. Existing users should migrate, and new MySQL estates should choose a maintained monitor.
