# Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this journey. Job well done.

You’ve set up Grafana Cloud Database Observability for MySQL, giving you deep visibility into query performance that goes well beyond basic metric monitoring.

You completed this journey as you:

- Understood the value of deep query monitoring versus basic metric collection
- Verified your MySQL 8.0+ instance meets the requirements for Database Observability
- Prepared your MySQL database with Performance Schema and query capture settings, a dedicated monitoring user, and the privileges Alloy needs
- Generated the Grafana Alloy configuration with the Add a database wizard and deployed it to your collector
- Verified telemetry is flowing using the Telemetry status checks
- Explored the Queries overview page to find slow queries and understand execution patterns
- Learned how to drill into individual queries for explain plans, wait events, and query samples
