What's included?
The Slow_queries counter increments based on your settings applied to MySQL's long_query_time parameter (default 10s), which you can review with this query:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'long_query_time';
This setting's default is 501, but can vary based on the underlying resources available to your instance. You can review your current max_connections limit with this query:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections';
It is important to note that this alert is disabled by default and you need to edit the configuration in New Relic One to add a targeted MySQL instance:
"WHERE displayName = 'MySql Instance Name'"
This allows the baseline to be calculated against a single instance instead of all running MySQL instances being monitored.
