+Pinba (PHP Is Not A Bottleneck Anymore) is a statistics server
+using MySQL as an interface. It accumulates and processes data
+sent over UDP by multiple PHP processes and displays statistics
+in a nice human-readable form of simple "reports", also providing
+read-only interface to the raw data in order to make possible
+generation of more sophisticated reports.
+
+Upstream recommends using a different memory allocator than the
+default one to cut down on memory usage. You can specify which
+one you want to use by passing either MALLOC="hoard" or
+MALLOC="jemalloc" to the script. This depends on hoard or jemalloc
+respectively. By default the default memory allocator is used.
+
+The pinba storage plugin works with both mysql and mariadb.
