What our engineers handle on MariaDB
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Tune InnoDB, connections and query cache settings for the real workload
- 2Schedule logical dumps and physical backups with mariabackup, and test a restore
- 3Plan version upgrades, including the move from MySQL when you want it
- 4Set up and monitor replication or a Galera cluster
Problems we fix
Problem
A Galera node will not rejoin the cluster
What we do
We check the state transfer and the cluster address, resync the node from a donor and confirm all nodes agree.
Problem
The database grows without anyone knowing why
What we do
We find the large tables and logs, archive or clean what is safe, set binary log expiry and add a disk alert.
Problem
An upgrade breaks an application
What we do
We compare SQL modes and defaults between versions, adapt the settings and test the app before switching.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about MariaDB
Do you manage MariaDB on cPanel?
Yes. cPanel uses MariaDB or MySQL, and we manage the database alongside the panel, including the MySQL upgrade tools in WHM.
How do you back up a large MariaDB database?
For big databases we prefer physical backups with mariabackup, with logical dumps for the small ones, and we test restores on a copy.
What does it cost to have MariaDB managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and MariaDB is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
