August 2025 At Releem - Recommendations Impact & Redundant Index Detection

We’ve been hard at work refining Releem to make your database monitoring and optimization even more intuitive and secure💪

This month brings a deeper query insights, and smarter health checks, so you get a clear, real-time view of database activity and can respond to problems in record time.

Updates to Releem Dashboard

Added EXPLAIN & Example Queries

See exactly why a query is slow with execution plans and real query samples, directly in the dashboard. Learn more.

Baseline Metrics & Recommendations Impact

We now capture your server’s initial state before configuration tuning. This allows you to compare before/after metrics and see the real impact of Releem’s recommendations.

Improved Weekly Report

Added a Schema Check summary alongside the existing health and performance insights for a complete MySQL/MariaDB status overview.

New Schema Check: Redundant Index Detection

Automatically flags indexes that sat unused for the past 30 days so you can keep things lean. Learn more about redundant indexes.

Updates to Releem Platform

Improved Index Detection

Fixed a bug that caused Releem to miss recommended indexes if they had been created with alternate names. This edge case was leading to incomplete measuring results of query optimization. Detection is now consistent across all index name variations. You’ll see accurate query optimization results every time.

Improved Memory Tuning

Recommendations now account for Performance Schema size to prevent under-allocation issues in certain configurations.

Updates to Releem Agent

Streamlined Releem Agent Installation for Linux

We’ve simplified the automatic installation process with clearer steps, fewer prompts, and faster setup, so you can start collecting metrics and tuning in less time. Note: Work is also underway to bring similar installation improvements to Windows and AWS RDS.
