You can view the graphical representation (a meter gauge) for the current size used against the total MySQL size. Session Monitor appropriately formats the size. The amount of storage used is displayed in GB if the database is smaller than 1 TB. Any database instance that is configured with more storage than 1 TB is displayed as an absolute value in TB. The meter gauge also indicates the percentage of the current MySQL size that is being used out of the total capacity. If there is no data available (when installed for the first time), the GUI displays "No data available" instead of the meter gauge. The interface provides a data refresh feature that includes options such as:
  • 30 seconds
  • 1 minute
  • 2minutes
  • 5 minute
