Automated MySQL Health Monitoring Digest
Every morning, WebRun opens your MySQL status dashboard, reads the slow query count, database size, and last backup time, logs the numbers to a Google Sheet, and emails you a short digest so drift shows up as a trend before it becomes an outage.
How do I monitor MySQL database health without checking it manually every day?
WebRun checks your MySQL server every morning, reading slow query counts, database size, and the last backup timestamp, then logs the numbers to a Google Sheet and emails your team a short digest. Drift shows up as a trend in the sheet before it becomes downtime, so storage or performance issues get caught early.
- Slow query spikes and storage growth show up before they cause downtime
- The team gets one short digest instead of checking dashboards manually
- Backup gaps are caught the next morning, not weeks later

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it change any database settings?
No. WebRun only reads status numbers, slow query counts, size, and backup timestamps. It never edits configuration or runs commands against the database.
What counts as a sharp jump?
A number that moves well outside its normal day-to-day range, like slow queries spiking or database size growing unexpectedly. You can tighten or loosen that threshold.
Who receives the digest?
Whichever distribution list or address you set during setup. WebRun only ever sends the digest to that address, never anywhere else.
