The Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server integration collects platform metrics and diagnostic logs from your MySQL Flexible Server instances. Once enabled, the SigNoz agent discovers MySQL Flexible Server resources in your monitored resource groups and configures telemetry collection.
This integration collects platform metrics for the Microsoft.DBforMySQL/flexibleServers resource type.
Getting started
Connect your Azure subscription first. See Azure One-Click Integrations for setup instructions.
Once connected:
- In SigNoz, navigate to Integrations > Microsoft Azure.
- Select MySQL - Flexible Server from the left panel.
- Toggle Log Collection and Metric Collection on.
The agent deploys the necessary Event Hubs and diagnostic settings in the background. Data starts flowing within a few minutes. Navigate to Dashboards and open the Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server Overview dashboard to confirm metrics are appearing.

Dashboards
The integration includes a pre-built MySQL Flexible Server dashboard. Pre-built dashboards are locked and cannot be edited. To customize, use Export JSON from the dashboard menu and import it as a new dashboard.
Key panels include:
- Host CPU and memory percentage
- Storage percentage, storage used, storage IO count, and storage IO percentage
- Active, total, and aborted connections
- Queries, slow queries, and active transactions
- Deadlocks and replication lag (including HA replication lag)
- Host network in and out, and backup storage used
Next steps
- Create alerts to get notified on connection spikes, slow queries, or replication lag
- Build custom dashboards to correlate database metrics with application performance
