Supports ~300 indicators across MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, and configurations like Galera Cluster, ensuring comprehensive analysis for most on-premises setups.
Provides tailored recommendations for memory, storage, and query optimization based on current configuration and status data, helping DBAs make informed tuning decisions.
Includes CVE vulnerability detection using vulnerabilities.csv and basic password audits, adding a security layer to performance diagnostics.
Offers text, JSON, or HTML reports with options for silent operation and custom templates via Text::Template, catering to diverse reporting needs.
Cloud environments are only experimentally supported with flags like --cloud, and Windows compatibility requires WSL2, making it less suitable for native or cloud-native deployments.
HTML report generation depends on external tools like Python/Jinja2 or AHA, adding installation and configuration overhead beyond the core Perl script.
As a read-only tool, it only provides recommendations, requiring manual implementation and testing, which can be time-consuming and error-prone for less experienced users.
