MemSQL uses the MySQL jdbc libraries for connectivity.

AppDynamics database agent can monitor the MemSQL DB if configured like this:

2. Configure a collector using the following details: (refer memsql-collector.png)  https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Configure+MySQL+Collectors

         Database Type - MySQL

         Host - MemSQL db host

         Port - MemSQL db listener port

         user name & password - should be entered

3. User permissions should be as mentioned in the document: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO43/Configure+MySQL+Collectors#ConfigureMySQLCollectors-permi...
