Each service utilizes specific KPIs to measure its effectiveness:

1. Conn Count
   • Description: Number of active connections.
2. Aborted Conns
   • Description: Number of aborted connections.
3. Threads Running
   • Description: Number of running threads.
4. Threads Connected
   • Description: Number of connected threads.
5. Disk IO
   • Description: Disk input/output operations.
6. Buffer Hit Rate
   • Description: Rate of buffer pool hits.
7. Open Files
   • Description: Number of open files.
8. Open Tables
   • Description: Number of open tables.
9. CPU Pct
   • Description: CPU usage percentage.
10. Mem Usage
    • Description: Memory usage.
11. Query Time
    • Description: Average query execution time.
12. Slow Queries
    • Description: Number of slow queries.
13. Repl Lag
